I can. I've never visited any of it either, not in Belgium and not in the Alsace. It's one of the most stupid uninteresting wars in history with only a lot of depressing stuff to show for.
Sure, officially its a Christmas Tree, if you look into the artist and his work, you know it really isn't. He did a similar thing to Paris, who actually pulled down the exhibit.

And agree on the war stuff. I've been to Normandy and Auschwitz, past those day trips the war stuff simply doesn't interest me. I'm not a military history buff, seeing what is now a giant field where a batle took place simply isn't worth my time the way it may be to someone else. I'd much rather spend my time in old churches and art nouveau buildings if I want history, the architect is far more intriguing to me. Same goes for most art museums, they just don't interest me the way the culture of a bustling town market does.
