What is really sad is that after the war many German troops grave and grave markers were smashed, especially in the Soviet States and France. As a former serviceman you still respect the fallen yours or theirs.
For some venting their anger on the dead makes them feel better. For those directly affected by the war, it makes some sense. Desecrating graves of those long dead as a political statement is just self righteous vandalism.

A ritual when sailors cross the equator.
It's also cowardly.
Can you blame the locals for doing that? Considering the cruelty the Germans displayed to them, it was totally understandable.
In France, that was rather marginal and presently the german military cemetaries are well respected and preserved (except that Wittman's grave stone was robbed twice, in 2015 and 2018 at La Cambe cemetary - some moron collector certainly). During WW2, what was rather unpleasant were the summary executions of german POWs between june and september 1944.
Take a look how the big, brave Wehrmacht behaved towards unarmed civilians on the areas of occupation, then ask yourself what would you do to those graves had you been under occupation.
Where is the other half?
Perhaps this is all.
