Basically telling them "You are mere cannon fodder, accept it."

They didn't abandon mass graves after that law either...

Not having the right doesn't mean you can't get one, it just means the government didn't guarantee it. Although the reality of war means if you're outright killed you're probably going in the mass grave before your family can claim the body.

Fun fact: If you're an American, you don't have the right either. Unclaimed bodies are usually cremated and buried in collective graves.

The very point is the government didn't make the effort.

I don't kmow where you get your misinformation but the American Defense Department's Graves Registration Command is still working to identify remains of WWII soldiers and those from later wars. Just last week they ID'd the remains of a B-17 crewman from New Jersey. Remains are individually buried, not cremated,
