Re: Ysselstyn War Cemetery

Laurent and others,

In general you can say that all Germans who have died in the Netherlands during the war are now at Ysselsteyn Cemetery. Only some are still were they have been buried during the war. Cemeteries at Schiermonnikoog and Vorden are known. The remains of some Germans have returned to their home country. Roughly spoken 1% or less.

Information about place of death and units is hard to get and ask for detailed study. I think contacting the cemetery does not help. You better contact the VDK at Kassel Germany.
You have to keep in mind that these institutions are not equipped for researchers.
Maybe John Manrho does know the proper way and the chance for success. But I am pessimistic for you.

Jaap
