Hamburg

After the end of the Second World War the cemetery became the place of final rest to 1,466 soldiers from Great Britain, mainly English airmen from bomb squadrons. Several years after the necropolis was given its present form, 378 British citizens were buried there. According to the Volksbund Deutsche Kriegsgräberfürsorge, the total number of 1,889 buried encompasses 14 more graves of soldiers from other Allied countries, including 8 airmen from the Polish No. 300 Bomb Squadron.
