depaor01 Posted 7 August , 2016 Share Posted 7 August , 2016 So sorry to hear this story of corruption and disrespect of the dead Egbert. Coupled with what amounts to wholesale theft of family history from a vulnerable family member it's beyond words. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnboy Posted 7 August , 2016 Share Posted 7 August , 2016 What a terrible story. Inhumane. I suppose that the remains might now have been washed to the sea? Heartfelt sympathies Egbert. I thought it bad enough that my relatives are listed on memorials. never found. but to know that yours were buried and now lost... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
egbert Posted 19 January , 2019 Author Share Posted 19 January , 2019 Alright, after contacting the VdK yesterday: in 2016 I was told that in lieu of the empty graves a memory stone with all the 78 names either on a Romanian VdK-cared cemetery on in situ supposed to be set up paid for by the VdK. Yesterday, >2 years later, the VdK answered that they know nothing about the Orsova situation. My header of this thread slowly seems to change to "Volksbund Dt Kriegsgräberfürsorge not so well done". I'll keep you posted what my new contact at VdK finds out...….. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
egbert Posted 27 November , 2019 Author Share Posted 27 November , 2019 (edited) 15 years after starting this thread, today I received a final and official mail that all 73 German graves are not existent and their whereabouts unknown/lost. Probe diggings revealed officially that the Romanian authorities cheated upon the relocation of all 73 dead in the 1970s. The VdK includes all names of the lost in a registration book on the planned (concentration)-war cemetery Sercaia /Brasov.

egbert Posted 27 November , 2019 Author Share Posted 27 November , 2019 Also I'd like to post the official answer (original text and translated text) from Orsova townhall. It is so interesting how they still stonewall in the year 2019 and deny any wrongdoing Orsova Staftverwaltung Antwort.pdfOrsova Staftverwaltung Antwort.pdf translation.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie962 Posted 27 November , 2019 Share Posted 27 November , 2019 Funny how the only person who could have helped died 2 years ago- but was clearly alive when your and VdK's investigations were happening in 2016. Did that gentleman do the whole thing on his own ? Charlie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
