Where dead American World War 2 soldiers taken home?
I'm guessing you mean were the American WWII dead taken home. The answer is no, not immediately after they were killed. In the late 1940s the government began contacting the next-of-kin of war dead and offering them the opportunity to have their loved one's remains returned to the states. This was several years after the war had ended. By that time the bodies of the dead had been collected into the lovely cemeteries still maintained by the American Battle Monuments Commission (abmc.gov). (The ABMC Normandy cemetery is seen in the beginning and end of "Saving Private Ryan"). These cemeteries are tended by US government employees and are perpetually American territory. There are over twenty of them overseas. Many grateful local people "adopted" the grave of a soldier and went at appropriate times to decorate it with flowers. A photograph of the grave can be sent to family in the states. In the late 40s, when offered the chance to have their loved ones returned, over 200,000 families decided to leave their lost one overseas, among his comrades. They are there still. General George Patton's wife decided this would have been what her husband would have wanted, and he is the highest ranking person buried in one of the ABMC cemeteries. For the average infantryman, if they were returned to the states, this might have been their fourth burial, and almost certainly at least their third. Graves Registration detachments located level, well-drained spots and carefully marked the location on maps when action was imminent. Dead troops got a hasty burial in a shelter half (half a pup tent). After the area settled down and the action moved on, these small plots were emptied into divisional cemeteries. A man's buddies might get a chance to come say good-bye before they moved on. After the war was over, the divisional cemeteries were emptied and collected into the ABMC cemeteries, where many still rest today. A soldier whose remains were returned to the states was eligible for burial in any of the National Cemeteries, such as Arlington, or anywhere else the family desired, if they wanted them close to home. Full military honors were given, where ever the family opted to lay their soldier to his, at long last final, rest.
