Hello
Currently i'm looking for more information and pictures about the German Cemetry in the russian town / villega Jamnoje.
I have a name who is buried there but he isn't registered in the official Grabe search site. As you can see there must have been a cemetry but without a doubt i will have been erased after the retreat of the german army in 1943.
Thank you in advance.
Best regards

Re: German Cemetry Jamnoje
There where about 118 graves at this former cemetery, in the village Jamnoje = Yamnaya.
I don't have pictures but have circled and highlighted the village's in red on the map you will find below.

Re: German Cemetry Jamnoje
If you like you can send me the name/data of the soldier and I check my archive to be sure.
Re: German Cemetry Jamnoje
If one of you sends me the geocoordinates I can check the German aerial photos.
I have done this for about 12 sites already for the Volksbund and have helped them located about 9,000 to 12,000 graves. I match up 1941-1944 aerial photos and German made Stadt Plans with Google Earth. Unfortunetly about 50% of them have been built over such as in Orel, Orscha, but others remain empty lots, parking lots, or parks such as in Belgorod, Smolensk.
May I ask why you are looking for these graves?

Re: German Cemetry Jamnoje
Thank you for the coordinates. I can't seem to find this on a map on the internet.
I calculated the decimals and looked it up in Google map but i find a place that is too much to the north and east.
It's even east of Moscow and that can't be right.
Best regards
