Re-Burials

11/30/2013

Searching and recovering the fallen soldiers of WW2 is done of respect for the soldier who lost his life, so he can have a real grave, hopefully a named one so also remaining family members can have a closure. Since I am new to the group I haven`t had a chance to attend the reburials yet, but hope to do so this spring. Edgars and Viktors from Legenda lent me these pics so I could put them up here and show you some of what happens after we have found a fallen.

Some days ago +/- 300 German soldiers was put to rest on a cemetary outside Saldus in Latvia.
