Where are US soldiers who became prisoners of war during Battle of the Bulge buried?

Prisoners were not buried. Only those who died. Large cemeteries exist today in towns for soldiers who died in the battle. Families of Americans did have the chance to return the bodies of loved ones back to America at the conclusion of the war. They had to do so at their own expense and many families could not afford the high cost of transporting the body back home. So thousands of American soldiers are laid to rest in cemeteries all over Europe today
