Poznan Old Garrison Cemetery, Poland

Poznan Cemetery is a fascinating visit.
The dead of different and complex conflicts are buried here.

The cemeteries here not only include the dead of WW2 but also those killed
in the 1956 Polish uprising.

These are a few graves of the many Poles who died whilst supporting
Soviet troops attacking the Poznan Citadel towards the end of WW2.
