Berlin 1939–1945 War Cemetery

The Berlin 1939-1945 War Cemetery contains rows of white headstones marking the graves of 3,589 Commonwealth service members on landscaped grounds.

British Occupation Authorities and Commission officials selected this location in 1945 to consolidate graves from various sites across Berlin and eastern Germany.

Eighty percent of the interred individuals were airmen who lost their lives during strategic bombing missions over Berlin and surrounding territories.

Visitors can reach the cemetery entrance by following Heerstrasse west from Theodor Heuss Platz for three kilometers to the traffic lights.

The cemetery includes 266 post-war graves of British Occupation Forces members and their families who remained in Berlin after the conflict.
