The seventeen german soldiers where exhumed all around the Netherlands within the last two years but reburied later because of the change in "the new burial procedure". Before this procedure German soldiers would be buried without any kind of ceremony or the presence of relatives or guests.
From now exhumed German soldiers will be buried with honors and in the presence of relatives, guests, officials and military , but of course without any military tribute.
In the Netherlands there are about 3000 German Soldiers still to be found in there (field) graves etc.
