Buriel ground of soldiers that died during World War II
Buriel ground of soldiers that died during World War II

The next tombstone has the data of a third soldier carved on it: Cannoneer Antoni Torba, who - according to the death certificate - lies there together with cannoneer Jan Białkowski at a distance of 20 metres from the road towards Breddenberg. No documents were found to confirm the exhumation and transfer of their corpses to this cemetery nor people who could indicate the burial place. 

In the plot, there are two more graves with Polish-sounding names. All the tombstones have German military emblems in the shape of a cross forged on them.
