Cars Left by US Soldiers at The Chatillon Car Graveyard in Belgium
Source: Pinterest
Chatillon is a little village in Southern Belgium. The cars in this graveyard once belonged to US soldiers. Soldiers would obtain cars while in the country during World War II; but, once the war was over and they returned to the US, it was too costly to have them all transported back with them. So the officers in charge decided to leave them in the country and parked them all up at the top of a hill, which was hidden from view. It was left up to the individual soldier whether or not they wanted to have their car shipped to them once they returned home, at their own expense. Not one of them decided to retrieve their car.
