Note for cemetery visitors
On some war grave sites, which the War Graves Commission has established in Eastern Europe, the name marking has partly not been done yet! Therefore, we urgently request that relatives contact us at the e-mail address service@volksbund.de or the telephone number +49(0)561-7009-0 before a planned trip. This way we can also guarantee that the respective war gravesite will be open on the planned date of the visit.
