The largest German military cemetery outside Germany, Lommel, Belgium
Just one pan across the headstones but hopefully it gives you an idea on the size of this place.
The Lommel German war cemetery is located at Kattenbos in the municipality of Lommel, Belgium and is the largest German military cemetery in Western Europe outside Germany itself. This World War II cemetery contains 39,102 burials, mainly from World War II, in paired plots.
The scale of the cemetery is shielded as you approach by car so you only see the expanse of graves when you walk up to the viewing platform or walked through the hedged entrance. Incredible.

My channel on you tube : is one of the most prolific from Poland, although unfortunately not the most visited. With almost one film per day, one may be forgiven for thinking I do nothing else but I do have a day job as well. I have produced more than 400 original films, most in English but also in Polish, French, Italian, Spanish and the occassional hint of German and Hebrew. My big interest in life is travel and history but I have also placed films on other subjects

There are a number of films here on the packaging industry. This is because I am the publisher of Central and Eastern European Packaging -- - the international platform for the packaging industry in this region focussing on the latest innovations, trends, design, branding, legislation and environmental issues with in-depth profiles of major industry achievers. Most people may think packaging pretty boring but it possibly effects your life more than you really imagine!
Central and Eastern European Packaging examines the packaging industry throughout this region, but in particular in the largest regional economies which are Russia, Germany, Poland, Czech Republic, Ukraine and Austria. That is not to say that the other countries are forgotten, they are not, but obviously there is less going on. However the fact that there are so many travel related films here is not from holidays but from business trips attending trade fairs around the region and the sites and give a pretty good idea where future films are going to come from! Every packaging trade fair is a new excuse to make another film!
In 1997 I founded Polish Business News .There are a number of business related films here and I intend to do many more on CRM (customer relations management).
My blog can be found via and and contains background information and more details of many of my films. This information is in English.
I have also a second blog on the site . This site has been recently started by a friend and I think it will soon be one of the leading travel sites in Poland, if not Central Europe. It contains additional information about some of the places and events shown in these films but most of that is in Polish.
British military cemetery at Koksijde, Belgium
SEE MY HISTORY PAGE ON FACEBOOK :
The British military cemetery at Koksijde, Belgium is located very close to where the front would have been in WW1. In June 1917, Commonwealth forces relieved French forces on 6 kilometres of front line from the sea to a point south of Nieuport (now Nieuwpoort), and held this sector for six months. Koksijde (or Coxyde as it was then called) was about 10 kilometres behind the front line. The village was used for rest billets and was occasionally shelled, but the cemetery, which had been started by French troops, was found to be reasonably safe. It became the most important of the Commonwealth cemeteries on the Belgian coast and was used at night for the burial of the dead brought back from the front line. The French returned to the sector in December 1917 and continued to use the cemetery, and during 1918, Commonwealth naval casualties from bases in Dunkirk were buried there. After the Armistice, graves were brought into the cemetery from isolated sites and from other cemeteries in the area.
The cemetery was used again during the Second World War, chiefly for the burial of casualties sustained during the defence of the Dunkirk perimeter in May 1940.
The cemetery now contains 1,507 Commonwealth burials of the First World War, the French graves from this period having since been removed. Of the 154 Second World War burials, 22 are unidentified. The cemetery was designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens.

Tyne Cot Commonwealth Military Cemetery, near Ipern, Belgium
SEE MY HISTORY SITE ON FACEBOOK :
Tyne Cot Cemetery is the largest Commonwealth Military Cemetery in the world. It is located 9 Kms north-east of Ieper and is well signposted.
'Tyne Cot' or 'Tyne Cottage' was the name given by the Northumberland Fusiliers to a barn which stood near the level crossing on the Passchendaele-Broodseinde road. The barn, which had become the centre of five or six German blockhouses, or pill-boxes, was captured by the 3rd Australian Division on 4 October 1917, in the advance on Passchendaele.
One of these pill-boxes was unusually large and was used as an advanced dressing station after its capture. From 6 October to the end of March 1918, 343 graves were made, on two sides of it, by the 50th (Northumbrian) and 33rd Divisions, and by two Canadian units. The cemetery was in German hands again from 13 April to 28 September, when it was finally recaptured, with Passchendaele, by the Belgian Army.
The cemetery was greatly enlarged after the Armistice when remains were brought in from the battlefields of Passchendaele and Langemarck, and from a few small burial grounds, including the following:
IBERIAN SOUTH CEMETERY and IBERIAN TRENCH CEMETERY, LANGEMARCK, 1,200 metres North of Frezenberg, close to a farm called by the Army Iberian. These contained the graves of 30 soldiers from the United Kingdom who fell in August-September, 1917, and March, 1918.
KINK CORNER CEMETERY, ZONNEBEKE, on the road to Frezenberg, containing the graves of 14 soldiers from the United Kingdom, nine from Canada and nine from Australia, who fell in September-November, 1917.
LEVI COTTAGE CEMETERY, ZONNEBEKE, near the road to Langemarck, containing the graves of ten soldiers from the United Kingdom, eight from Canada and three from Australia, who fell in September-November, 1917.
OOSTNIEUWKERKE GERMAN CEMETERY, in the village of Oostnieuwkerke, containing the graves of two soldiers from the United Kingdom.
PRAET-BOSCH GERMAN CEMETERY, VLADSLOO, in the forest on the road from Kortewilde to Leke. Here were buried six officers of the R.F.C. and R.A.F. who fell in 1917-18.
STADEN GERMAN CEMETERY, on the South-East side of the road to Stadenberg, containing the graves of 14 soldiers from the United Kingdom and ten from Canada who fell in 1915-1917.
WATERLOO FARM CEMETERY, PASSCHENDAELE, 650 metres North-East of
's Gravenstafel, containing the graves of ten soldiers from Canada, seven from the United Kingdom and two from New Zealand, who fell in 1917-18.
ZONNEBEKE BRITISH CEMETERY No.2, on the road between Zonnebeke and Broodseinde, in which the Germans buried 18 men of the 2nd Buffs and 20 of the 3rd Royal Fusiliers who fell in April, 1915.
At the suggestion of King George V, who visited the cemetery in 1922, the Cross of Sacrifice was placed on the original large pill-box. There are three other pill-boxes in the cemetery.
There are now 11,956 Commonwealth servicemen of the First World War buried or commemorated in Tyne Cot Cemetery. 8,369 of the burials are unidentified but there are special memorials to more than 80 casualties known or believed to be buried among them. Other special memorials commemorate 20 casualties whose graves were destroyed by shell fire. There are 4 German burials, 3 being unidentified.
The cemetery was designed by Sir Herbert Baker.
The TYNE COT MEMORIAL forms the north-eastern boundary of Tyne Cot Cemetery and commemorates nearly 35,000 servicemen from the United Kingdom and New Zealand who died in the Ypres Salient after 16 August 1917 and whose graves are not known. The memorial stands close to the farthest point in Belgium reached by Commonwealth forces in the First World War until the final advance to victory.
The memorial was designed by Sir Herbert Baker with sculpture by F V Blundstone.

German graves in Belgium
When we visit war graves, we tend to forget that there were other soldiers, serving their country, who also made the 'ultimate sacrifice'.
In the Commonwealth War Graves Commission cemetery at Adinkerke, Belgium, there are also Germans, now at rest amongst those who were their enemies.

German military cemetery at Bad Bodendorf - Friedhof an Bad Bodendorf
SEE MY HISTORY GROUP ON FACEBOOK :
Bad Bodendorf is a village close to Sinzig in the Ahrweiler district in Rheinland-Pfalz. It is on the fast moving Ahr river which can be heard in the background in this film.
Following the capture of the Ruhr, there were around 252,000 German POWs in US hands which were located in a temporary POW camps in the area of Remagen and Sinzig. Some of these prisoners were wounded and the condiitions in the camps were extremely primitive. There was a lack of food and medication - not so the prisoners starved but enough to keep them hungry until supplies could be arranged. Some wounded prisoners died for lack of proper care in the turmoil of the end of the war. These 1,212 prisoners are buried here at Bad Bodendorf. As can be seen many were quite old.
This cemetery is the largest which served the Rhine meadows camps. According to various denier liar websites and other conspiracist fantacists Eisenhower murdered hundreds of thousands of people here. This cemetery shows once again how these perverts lie. Nonetheless, it is unfortunate that the Allies were not able to give more medical assistance and shelter to these POWs.
Close to Bad Bodendorf is the town of Remagen where the Americans crossed the Rhine in the afternoon of 7 March 1945 and that is where my trail will now take me.

MONTE CASSINO POLISH WAR CEMETERY, CIMITERO MILITARE POLACCO POLSKY CMENTARZ WOJENNY U.FARAGLIA
The Polish war cemetery at Monte Cassino holds the graves of over a thousand Poles who died storming the bombed-out Benedictine abbey atop the mountain in May 1944, during the Battle of Monte Cassino. The cemetery is maintained by the Council for the Protection of Memorial Sites of Struggle and Martyrdom.
The religious affiliations of the deceased are indicated by three types of headstone: Christina crosses for Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox and Jewish headstones bearing the Star of David.
The cemetery also holds the grave of General Władysław Anders, who had commanded the Polish forces that captured Monte Cassino. Anders died in London in 1970 and his ashes were interred in the cemetery.
Polski Cmentarz Wojenny pod Monte Cassino - cmentarz polskich żołnierzy poległych w bitwie powstał na przełomie 1944 i 1945 roku, według projektu architektów Hryniewicza i Skolimowskiego. Zbudowano go na płaskim odcinku terenu pomiędzy Monte Cassino i wzgórzem 593, a więc w miejscu najbardziej wymownym. To właśnie tamtędy szły główne natarcia 3 Dywizji Strzelców Karpackich. Uroczyste oddanie cmentarza nastąpiło 1 września 1945 r. Zbudowali go żołnierze, uczestnicy bitwy. Spoczywa w nim 1051 poległych. Ze względu na sytuację polityczną, weterani bitwy nie mogli powrócić po wojnie do kraju, wielu z nich pozostało na emigracji we Włoszech i Wielkiej Brytanii. Sam gen. Anders, który zmarł w 1970 r. w Londynie, zażyczył sobie być pochowanym wśród swoich żołnierzy pod Monte Cassino. Jego grób stanowi centralny punkt cmentarza
.
La Battaglia di Montecassino, e le altre battaglie che si sono svolte in questa area in questo periodo, furono lunghe e determinarono una immensa perdita di vite umane. Molti sono i cimiteri di guerra dislocati nei dintorni di Montecassino e che oggi possiamo visitare. Tra questi c'è il Cimitero Polacco, visibile dalla ricostruita Abbazia. Qui giacciono 1051 soldati polacchi che morirono combattendo nella battaglia finale a Montecassino nel maggio del 1944. Un monumento con una iscrizione in polacco dice: Per la nostra e la vostra libertà / Noi soldati polacchi / Abbiamo donato le nostre anime a Dio / I nostri corpi al suolo italiano e i nostri cuori alla Polonia.
Tra le storiche visite papali a Montecassino, al Cimitero di Guerra Polacco e al memoriale, ricordiamo quelle di Papa Giovanni Paolo II nel 1979 e nel 1980 e quella di Papa Benedetto XVI nel 2009. Il cimitero di Guerra del Commonwealth a Cassino è il luogo nel quale giacciono i soldati caduti in guerra, provenienti dalla Gran Bretagna, dal Canada, dalla Nuova Zelanda, dal Sud Africa e dall'India. Qui ci sono più di 4000 tombe, centinaia delle quali appartengono a soldati non identificati.
Hidden German WWI Cemetery in forest - Carpathian Mountains
My darling wife and I decided to leave the track leading to the top of Mount Hoverla (2061m) and after hiking for a few hours we came across a WWI German cemetery (1916). It was a great find which became much more interesting when none of the locals apparently knew anything about it.
If you have any information about it, we would be very grateful to find out more.
