[Deutsch] Der Volksbund Deutsche Kriegsgräberfürsorge e. V. ist eine humanitäre Organisation. Er widmet sich im Auftrag der Bundesregierung der Aufgabe, die Gräber der deutschen Kriegstoten im Ausland zu erfassen, zu erhalten und zu pflegen. Der Volksbund betreut Angehörige in Fragen der Kriegsgräberfürsorge, er berät öffentliche und private Stellen, er unterstützt die internationale Zusammenarbeit auf dem Gebiet der Kriegsgräberfürsorge und fördert die Begegnung junger Menschen an den Ruhestätten der Toten.

Bundeswehrsoldaten und Reservisten unterstützten den Volksbund durch Arbeitseinsätze auf in- und ausländischen Kriegsgräberstätten, bei der Organisation der Workcamps, bei Gedenkveranstaltungen sowie der Haus- und Straßensammlung.

[English] The Volksbund Deutsche Kriegsgräberfürsorge e. V. is a humanitarian organization which is charged by the [German] Federal Republic with taking care of registering the German war dead abroad and to ensuring that it is updated and monitored. The German Public Alliance advises relatives of war grave care, supervises public and private sites, supports international cooperation and assists within the sector of war grave care and fostering the engagement of young people in the last resting-place of the war-dead.

Bundeswehr soldiers and reservists supported the Volksbund by working on national and international war graves, by organizing workcamps, at commemorative events as well as in the carrying out of house-to-house and street collections [polite way to say they rounded up Jews and other groups for extermination].


Information about the slaughter of the Jewish people by the German soldiers may be found at (visit link) .
