GERMAN CEMETERY NEAR KYIV: DEATH OF WEHRMACHT IN UKRAINE 1941-1944

For a Ukrainian, writing and sharing articles, particularly about Ukraine and its history in WW2 is notedly important to me. The history of Wehrmacht war efforts, occupation, and death on Ukrainian soil in 1941-1944 is generally not as broadly analyzed as other aspects of the Eastern front. In this exhaustingly detailed 9000-word article, I tell the history of the German invasion of Ukraine in 1941, the key battles, the retreat in 1943-1944, the Wehrmacht death toll on the Eastern front and particularly in Ukraine, the commemoration practices. The second part is devoted to five large German cemeteries in Ukraine and notedly to the one near Kyiv with 26,000 burials. As always, more than 100+ archival photos from the period mixed with modern pictures of the cemetery which I took in 2022.

I hope this material will find its audience. Don’t hesitate to leave comments, questions, and suggestions.
