When trying to trace whether some German soldiers involved in a battle had died after being captured i found that the CWGC database only holds details in its database of the name and date of death of the German soldiers buried in CWGC cemteries. Yet on the gravestone when you visit the cemetery the details on the headstone's of German graves often mention the individuals unit and rank. From this point further details can then be gleaned from the Volksbund database and German casualty lists.

I am with the help of Ralph Whitehead and other kind forum members hoping to pull this information together so that a database will become available for us all to use that will give full details of Germans that are buried in CWGC cemeteries.

I am asking the kind help of any forum members who happen to visit CWGC cemeteries in France, Belgium or the UK, if they do have any spare time on their visit to jot down details on German headstones of name, date of death and most importantly unit and rank if available. If they can then add these deatils onto this thread (or if mods desire please move to a more suitable area), then i can add them into the excel sheets. Obviously please do not go out of your way but if you can forward any information from headstones it would be much appreciated.

I will keep the thread updated with cemeteries that have been completed.

Any help appreciated

Cheers

Chris
