Agree with the others as posted previously. Construction of the Museum itself altered the landscape in its own right.
As Rob L pointed out, Europe was all a battlefield. Rebuilding it was part of progress as well as healing. One only has to look right here at home to see ancient battlefields paved over for development. Look to the Niagara peninsula and shores of Lake Ontario (War of 1812), Quebec (1756) etc. The former site of Camp X is hardly even decernable now albeit from a small memorial park tucked in between large buildings in an industrial development. We can hardly criticize the actions of the sovereign Nation of France while we have committed the same thing right here. And don’t forget, We were Visitors in 1944 and it wasn’t and still isn’t Ours.
