Stock Photo - 21 November 2019, Brandenburg, Potsdam: Concrete grave cushions and gravestones lying on the Soviet cemetery in a wooded area on Bundesstraße 2 between Potsdam and Michendorf. On 39 burial grounds 2399 Soviet war dead from the Second World War and 2829 officers, soldiers, civilian employees and officers of the garrison of the Soviet armed forces in the GDR are buried. At some graves there are pictures of the deceased, a tradition that is common in Russia. Further gravestones remind of accidents with airplanes or tanks, which are engraved silhouette-like into the stones. The 26 soldiers who crashed on 14 April 1951 with a total of 13 new Ilyushin 10 aircraft over southern Brandenburg, between Dahme and Luckau, for unknown reasons, are buried here. The last funeral on the forest cemetery, built in 1946, took place on 28.12.1985. Photo: Soeren Stache/dpa-Zentralbild/ZB. - Potsdam/Brandenburg/Germany
