WW2 soldiers

[edit]

The Eddie Slovik says he's the only WW2 soldier in the US army to be executed, but this article says dozens were.

I think he was the only one executed for a purely military offence (ie desertion). The others were executed for "ordinary" offences like murder, rape etc ← Roger → Talk 22:42, 10 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Private Eddie Slovik was the only WW2 soldier interred in this cemetery (his body has been repatriated). All other soldiers interred there met their end in the first world war.
Private Slovik, as a deserter, was interred in the famously infamous "Plot E".
By the way, I think that removing all information about "plot E" is not the cleverest way to do...
Also, some more (unfortunately non-free) images of plot E :
