A look at the war graves

The Volksbund Deutsche Wargräberfürsorge e.V. looks after over 830 war graves in 46 countries worldwide. One of the best known is the Langemark war catering in Belgium, which houses more than 44,000 deaths of the First World War. This site is not only a place of grief, but also a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Especially November 10, 1914 is a memorable date on which around 2,000 German soldiers lived their lives in the first Battle of Flanders, which led to the so-called "Langemarck myth". The This collection campaign in Berlin is a significant contribution to the care and maintenance of such memorials that remind us of the horrors of the war and remind us of preserving peace. The support of the population is invaluable and shows that the memory of the fallen still has a high priority in our society.
