Crimean graves of German soldiers...between Sevastopol and Yalta. All German dead are now moved to this sight in the Crimea. On this post are wartime german military cemeteries for Perekop, Sevastopol, and Kerch. All were recorded with at least three different names for the area the graves were put. Tatar, Ethnic Ukrainian/Russian, and the communist name. This helped to find them them in the early 1990s when many who knew the names were dead. Bc the names were recorded by old and new...someone always knew the sight. A Russian woman who speaks German looks after the cemetery and received mostly german visitors. Several new graves were evident as were several visitations by families seeking the burial of long lost relatives. A very very interesting place...resembling many german grave sights I have seen in Estonia, Poland, Russia, Ukraine, and Hungary. My favorite is Narva....the graves look as though they are on watch for the Russian bear,
