The Douaumont Necropolis and Ossuary contain the remains of both French and German soldiers who died on the Verdun battlefield. Through small outside windows of the ossuary, the skeletal remains of at least 130,000 unidentified combatants of all nations can be seen filling up alcoves at the lower edge of the building. On the inside of the ossuary building, the ceiling and walls are partly covered by plaques bearing names of French soldiers who died during the Battle of Verdun.
