Private Eddie Slovik, who was executed by the Army in 1945, the only American soldier to be executed for desertion since the Civil War.

 

 

Private Eddie Slovik was buried in Plot "E" of Oise-Aisne American Cemetery and Memorial in Fère-en-Tardenois, alongside 95 American soldiers executed for rape and/or murder. Their grave markers are hidden from view by shrubbery and bear sequential numbers instead of names, making it impossible to identify them individually without knowing the key.

 

I visited this cemetery , the plot "E" is forbidden to the visitors .
