Denmark - Esbjerg War Graves -
Fourfelt - 1 |
|
During World War II the Germans had some strong fortifications
in the Esbjerg area. After the war a lot of German refugees stay
in the area. As a result of this there is a rather large German
military and refugee cemetery in Esbjerg - also called Fourfelt
Military War Graves. Next to the German
cemetery there is a large Commonwealth War Graves cemetery.
At this cemetery you find a lot of aircraft crews, who were shot
down over Denmark during the war.
