Alex, I do have a whole bunch of modern day color pictures from the cemetery, taken November 2014. Unfortunately due to the withered state of my uncle's headstone (but also the headstones of all the other 77 German interred) could not be found/identified. Please see also my link to another forum (the link works fine by now) and read about the cemetery and German war graves situation in Orsova. The situation applies to the buried of both Ju52 crash near Toplet, that of 16.4.44 and that of my uncle 10.5.44.
