Amongst the 9,387 soldiers buried at Colleville-sur-Mer, 307 of them could not be identified, and their headstones would thus bear 'Here rest in honored glory a comrade in arms known but to God' for sole epitaph. However, some seventy-four years after his death, an American soldier was buried alongside his twin in a ceremony at the Normandy American Cemetery. Indeed, the Pieper brothers had drowned in the shipwreck of their vessel off Omaha Beach; whilst Ludwig’s body had been found, that was not the case for Julius’. Later, in 1961, a missing body had been found in the wreckage, but without realising it was Julius Pieper’s, it was then buried in an American Cemetery in Belgium under an anonymous cross. Finally identified as Julius Pieper, his remains were thus reunited, in 2018, with his brother’s, Ludwig.
