egbert Posted 4 January , 2012 Share Posted 4 January , 2012 .....were reburied by German War Grave Commision (VdK)in 2011, 40000 of them in Eastern Europe. Since the 1992 agreement with the Russian Federation up to date the VdK managed to exhume 300.000 dead. A monumental task, and time is running out as witnesses who can point out old gravesites fade away..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Soul Posted 4 January , 2012 Share Posted 4 January , 2012 Are these mainly WW2 casualties, Egbert, or are they arranging for the commemoration of the WW1 dead too (where they can)? Best wishes. Andy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
