Denmark - Gedhus (Karup) War Graves


One of the largest German World War II airfields in Denmark was located in Gedhus/Grove (today known as Karup). After the war the airfield was for some time used as a refuge camp for German refuges, that had escaped the war during the last months of the war. Next to the airfield you will find a German cemetery with both refugee and military graves.
