Lots of opinions about this, some propose that they are tombs of a once hated enemy and should be left alone, others want to search them for historical value and perhaps proper internment of remains.
Seem the french government itself falls into the 1st category and wants nothing to do with it, same with the German graves registration.
I'm not really decided, I can see the arguments on both sides and fall somewhat in between.
