Cemetery In Russia

Post by dandy530 »

Does anyone know the location of the Cemetery where the SS Kavalierie soldiers killed at Gordojevo were burried?

Probably not. It's most likely that the memorials were removed, and the ground tilled over and covered to prevent the bodies from being desecrated after the Germans made their tactical withdrawals rearward.

Unless you stumble across someone that actually was on one of the burial or cover-up details, you are probably out of luck.

Did you check the Volksbund already? They try to locate as many graves as possible and rebury the German soldiers if possible. http://www.volksbund.de

Okay... Same here though, I tried to locate a few soldiers of the 267. I.D., no luck at all. I guess their bodies aren't found by the Volksbund yet.
