I know OP was being hyperbolic but I had to figure the size of the cemetery.

100,000 plots 10x10' in size = needs a cemetery about 3200 x 3200 ft or 1 x 1 km. Maybe double that for the roads, paths, and trees you would need.

Someone could probably do a rendering of this imaginary cemetery in Blender or something to drive home the waste of life this is, all for some guy's ego. Then of course another cemetery across the way almost the same size for the other side that was dragged into this war.

No need, it likely looks close to this one in Normandy, once the war is over and the Russians keep burying them instead of cremating. Though likely not as nice as the one in the video but the size matches.
