Belle-Alliance - The Waterloo series II

            The so called battle of Waterloo (18th June 1815), Napoleon was for his last time defeated by Allied forces here is correctly better named battle of Belle-Alliance, a farm which was in the middle of the battlefield. Later the battle got its name from the small Belgium town Waterloo where the Duke of Wellington, one of the leaders of a part of the Allied forces had his headquarter a few miles away. 
On this just one day there have been about 50.000 casualties. One hardly can imagine such a number just because of the will of power but as we see today some people do not care even nowadays about humans dying in wars again and again.   

Nur an einem Tag starben dort ca. 50.000 Menschen. Man kann sich diese ungeheure Zahl kaum vorstellen nur wegen des Willens zur Macht Einzelner, aber wie wir selbst heute sehen müssen, kümmert es Manche nicht, dass Menschen immer wieder in Kriegen sterben sollen.
