The Bitburg controversy concerned a ceremonial visit by Ronald Reagan, the incumbent President of the United States, to a German military cemetery in Bitburg, West Germany in May 1985. The visit was intended to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the end of World War II in Europe but aroused considerable criticism from Jewish communities within the United States and around the world when it became known that 49 of the 2,000 German soldiers buried at the site had been members of the Waffen-SS, the military arm of Nazi Germany's Schutzstaffel (SS). The entire SS had been judged to be a criminal organisation at the Nuremberg trials. Although not part of the original itinerary, as part of their own reconciliatory gesture, Reagan and West German Chancellor Helmut Kohl made an impromptu visit to

rdfs:comment	Als Bitburg-Kontroverse wurde in den Medien die Diskussion benannt, die sich nach den Kranzniederlegungen am 5. Mai 1985 an der Kriegsgräberstätte Bitburg-Kolmeshöhe in Bitburg sowie der Gedenkstätte des KZ Bergen-Belsen bei Celle durch US-Präsident Ronald Reagan gemeinsam mit Bundeskanzler Helmut Kohl entspann. Der Besuch und die Kranzniederlegung am Soldatenfriedhof in Bitburg führten zu der Kontroverse, da dort neben Soldaten der deutschen Wehrmacht auch Angehörige der Waffen-SS beerdigt sind. (de) La controverse de Bitburg désigne le tollé provoqué par la visite du président Ronald Reagan, nouvellement élu pour son second mandat, au cimetière militaire de Bitburg, en République fédérale allemande (RFA), visant à célébrer les 40 ans de la fin de la guerre. Quelques jours après le sommet du G7 à Bonn, la rencontre entre Reagan et le chancelier Helmut Kohl, le 5 mai 1985, devait signifier l'alliance entre les deux pays et le soutien mutuel apporté dans la crise des euromissiles.
