POW Cemetery

Notes:

A well-tended prison cemetery for Allied POW's stands on the outskirts of a German town. The graves are ivy-covered and several are decorated with wreathes and flowers. Each grave has the name of the deceased, his birth and death dates, and information about his military unit on plaques mounted on each of the crosses.
