Soviet field of honour Leusden, War memorial in Leusden, Netherlands.
The Soviet Field of Honour contains 865 graves of Soviet soldiers arranged in rows, marked by individual headstones with Cyrillic inscriptions.
The memorial was established on November 18, 1948, to inter Soviet soldiers who died in labor camps and those executed at Kamp Amersfoort during World War II.
The site represents a connection between Dutch and Soviet wartime experiences, with regular ceremonies held to commemorate the fallen soldiers from the former Soviet Union.
Located within Rusthof Cemetery at Dodeweg 31 in Leusden, the memorial site maintains daily public access and features informational displays in multiple languages.
Among the buried soldiers are 101 Central Asian prisoners, primarily from Uzbekistan, who were transported in cattle wagons and faced execution at Kamp Amersfoort.
