"Hiwi" Graves

Post by Thomas Koulis »

Dear Members,

I have already posted this thread on the Heer section of the forum but with no response. On reflection I should have posted it here first - perhaps now I will receive some comment.

Was it common for German soldiers to errect graves for Hilfsfreiwillige that were attched to their units? Also are photos showing such graves common? I have an Original Photo of grave for a "Hiwi" errected by members of GrenRgt 528. It is contained in the wartime album of Ritterkreuzträger Herr Freidrich Dörmann (who commanded II. GrenRgt 528) which I purchased a few months ago.

Many thanks for your assistance!
Thomas.
