Großburgwedel

At the same time, graves of four English pilots who died because of forced landing in the area of the town were transferred to a British war cemetery. The plot of Second World War victims became the place of final rest for:

Stanisław Rożek, Polish, accused of attacking the wife of a farmer that he worked for, shot when trying to escape in Oldhorster Moor and buried on the 9th of August 1942.

Two Russian prisoners of war from the period of the Great War and four from the period of World War II.

Three prisoners of the Neuengamme concentration camp, only known by numbers: 18587, 70204 and 34587, who were found dead on the 7th of April 1945 in a barn in Großburgwedel. They were participants of the death march from Hannover-Stöcken or Hannover-Mühlenberg sub-camps going towards Bergen-Belsen concentration camp or the main camp in Neuengamme near Hamburg.

The commune authorities supervise the well-kept plot; it is covered with a tombstone with only the names of Russians carved on it, without nationality, date of birth or date of death. There is no information about the Pole and camp prisoners buried here.
