| Concentration of Allied graves in the former DDR by Invader34 on 28 Jun 2020 18:38 | Re: Concentration of Allied graves in the former DDR [QUOTE=Henk Welting;11171]Most of the allied casualties in the Berlin area were brought to the Berlin Olympic Stadium for identification. Then burial took place at the "Heeresstandort-Friedhof" Dalgow-Döberitz. Postwar this area became a Russian tank exercise site; many graves damaged/lost. From Döberitz (Russion Zone) reburials were carried out to the British War Cem., Heerstrasse, Berlin-Spandau. We succeeded in finding a contact person of the postwar Dalgow-Düberitz community and 1998 Mr Jan Hey obtained 3 pages with names of allied servicemen initially buried in that German military cemetery; he worked out the list and sent me a copy of the results.
