The British War Cemetery in Berlin, Germany!
The British War Cemetery Berlin is located in Spandau on Heer street, it was constructed between 1955 and 1957 it replaces the previous cemetery at the Trakehner Allee, which had to be demolished in 1959. The former site was plan to be used for a television transmitter tower, but it was never constructed. The soldiers buried there were transferred to the new Heer street site.
The new cemetery was constructed according to plans by Philip Dalton Hepworth on an approximately 3,8000 square meters site. The uniform headstones of Portland stone, the Cross of Sacrifice and centrally-placed Stone of Remembrance with inscription (Their name will be lived for evermore), and short-cut lawns. The entrance is formed of three limestone arches with wrought iron gates.
Heer street cemetery is administered by the CWGC. The majority of those interred there were Airmen of the Royal Air Force who were killed during their bombing raids on Berlin, alongside British soldiers who died in captivity in Germany and some civilian members of the post-1945 British occupation forces. As well as Britons, there are soldiers from other Commonwealth realms, soldiers of unknown nationalities and five Poles. In total there are 3,576 graves in the cemetery. The cemetery itself lies under the protection of the British Crown, and in this sense belongs to the territory of the Great Britain.

Commonwealth War Graves in Karachi
I visited Pakistan this week, meeting senior members of the Pakistan Government, to build on work to prevent violent extremism in the UK and Pakistan.
During the trip I visited the Commonwealth War Graves in Karachi to pay my respects to the thousands of soldiers who died fighting with Britain in the 20th Century's two world wars.
The trip aimed to build a deeper understanding of the links between Pakistan and the Diaspora community here in the UK with the aim of identifying opportunities for even more effective working with Muslim communities.

On 16 October 1959, the governments of the United Kingdom and the Federal Republic of Germany made an agreement about the future care of the remains of German military personnel and German civilian internees of both World Wars who at the time were interred in various cemeteries not already maintained by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission. It was agreed that the remains would be transferred to a single central cemetery established on Cannock Chase for this purpose.[1]

The German War Graves Commission (Volksbund Deutsche Kriegsgräberfürsorge or VDK) made the necessary arrangements and the inauguration and dedication of this cemetery - which is maintained under the inter-government agreement by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission - took place in June 1967. It contains nearly 5,000 German and Austrian graves.[1][2] A number of World War II Ukrainian volunteers captured when in German service are also buried here.[3]

Layout of the Cemetery[edit]
The entrance building contains toilets for visitors and a visiting room where the Cemetery Register is available on request. A plan of the plots within the cemetery is also on display. From here a small courtyard with a covered passage forms the connection to the Hall of Honour, which has at its centre, resting on a large block of stone, a bronze sculpture of a fallen warrior, by the eminent German sculptor, Professor Hans Wimmer.[1][2] Open passageways give a clear view of two terraces. On the west-facing terrace there is a granite monument to the crews of the four airships (SL 11, L32, L31, L48) shot down in World War I and who lie buried here in a tomb in separate sarcophagi.[2]

The other terrace forms a link between the Hall of Honour and the cemetery. The graves of the dead of the First and Second World War are generally separated and lie on either side of the gentle slopes of the cemetery with a valley between them. The burials are marked by headstones from Belgian Petit Granit and are usually inscribed for two individuals on the front and on the back.[2]
Notable graves[edit]
Notable people include:
Ernst Busch, World War II German Field-Marshal and Pour le Mérite (Blue Max) recipient.
Leo Gburek, German geophysicist, Luftwaffe Weather Observer and a member of the Third German Antarctic Expedition
Hans Hahn, World War II German Luftwaffe Leutnant and flying ace.
Maximilian von Herff, World War II German SS-General.
Karl Ritscherle, World War I German flying ace and World War II Luftwaffe Major, killed in Battle of Britain.
Alois Stoeckl, World War II German Luftwaffe Oberst, killed in Battle of Britain.
German war graves elsewhere in UK[edit]
According to the Volksbund Deutsche Kriegsgräberfürsorge,[2] just over 1000 German World War II casualties are still buried elsewhere in the UK, including 111 at Saint Peter Port (Fort George), Guernsey,[4] and others at Brookwood Cemetery, Surrey.[5] The remainder are interred in Commonwealth War Graves Commission-administered plots all over the UK, often near where their bodies were found or where they died. For example, three Luftwaffe bomber crew, whose Dornier ditched in the sea off Kingsdown, Kent in 1940, were buried in the military section of Hamilton Road Cemetery, Deal, Kent, less than 2 miles from the crash.
In the same locality as this cemetery, the Commonwealth Cannock Chase War Cemetery contains 286 German war graves, primarily of those who died in a local prisoner-of-war camp and hospital in World War I but also including graves of 58 Germans who had been reinterred here in 1963.[6]
A proposal was made to rebury in this cemetery former Imperial German Navy officer Carl Hans Lody (shot for espionage at the Tower of London in 1914) in the 1960s. The VDK asked if it would be possible to disinter Lody's body from East London Cemetery in Plaistow and move it to Cannock Chase. By that time, the plot had been reused for further common graves, buried above Lody's body. The VDK was told that it would not be possible to disinter the other bodies without the permission of the relatives, which would have been an almost impossible task where common graves were concerned. The proposal was abandoned and Lody's body remains

Mediale Fähigkeiten - Lasst es unwiederholt!!! Soldaten warnen uns...
Hole Dir Dein kostenloses E-Book Deine medialen Fähigkeiten und Du!
Spontan wurde ich als Medium von einer Gruppenenergie einiger gefallener Soldaten genutzt. Sie warnen uns eindringlich davor noch mal einen Krieg in Betracht zu ziehen. Sie warnen uns eindringlich dieses Leid zu wiederholen! Sie wollen nicht das dann alles vergebens ist wofür sie ihr wertvolles Leben ließen. Dieses Gespräch fand auf der Becklingen War Cemetery statt. Neben den zu erst von mir wahrgenommen Amerikanern, liegen hier auch Engländer, Kanadier, Neuseeländer, Südafrikaner, Russen und Polen, dazu noch unbekannte Nationalitäten. Und ist eine Kriegsgräberstätte, die unter Leitung der Commonwealth War Graves Commission erbaut wurde und betreut wird. Quelle Wikipedia.
ich wünsche Dir alles Liebe und verwirkliche Dich selbst, wer außer Du sollte es sonst tun?

Brookwood Military Cemetery and the Commonwealth War Graves Commission centenary exhibition
To mark the centenary of the foundation of the Commonwealth War Graves Commission by Royal Charter in 1917, an exhibition is being staged at CWGC Brookwood Military Cemetery near Woking, Surrey.
The exhibition will be open from 20 May to 19 November and we recently paid a visit.
We also took a walking tour through the cemetery, visiting the American cemetery, the Commonwealth War Graves plots and the areas to the war dead of other nationalities.
