Does anyone know if there is a similar online searchable database to locate the graves of individual german soldiers from WW2, similar to the CWGC website?
I am trying to find where one specific man is buried, but I can't seem to find any records for him online or on ancestry.com
He served in on the Russian front and then was in Normandy for the D-day landings. I suspect he was killed or died soon after Normandy, it is unlikely he was a captured POW, but not impossible.
I know there were thousands of German soldiers buried as unidentified, but just in case he was identified I would like to know where he was buried, so I can add that fact to the family tree.
I don't read German, so there may be a website online that has escaped my surfing.
Thanks
Crusader2,
Hopefully this will be of some help;
The Volksbund site in English
and instructions how to use it.
triceratops - Thanks ever so much, I had been on that site but couldn't figure my way round, so the Axis website guidelines in englsih is just what i needed.
I am much obliged to you for that gem.
There is an explanation of the system after WWI here and the formation of the Volksbund Deutsche Kriegsgräberfürsorge.
