Waffen-SS in Deutscher Soldatenfriedhof Pornichet

[Alexdel]

Last month with a friend I was in Pornichet, west of France and I tried to do a list, only Waffen-SS graves. Less of time I need to take the Schütze and Oberschütze Block 5 & 6 that will be in 2018 !

This is the first part of the list SS-Sturmmann and SS-Rottenführer, I have the graves in photo with the dates of birth. If anybody has additional information ? that will be cool, thank you.

The grave of SS-Unterscharführer Joris Robijn/Georg Robyn

[Wim]

I have the picture of his grave.

Is there a picture of the grave at "cimetière de l'ouest" in Angers that would be interesting.

Wim

[offizier1916]

Thank you for your work alexdel

[Alexdel]

I don't have sorry. There's 2 years I was in cimetière de l'ouest for having informations because I knew there were some germans soldiers. The person in charge did'nt know where bodies had left.

[Wim]

Hello alexdel,

It is possible that you find any (extra) info about the cemetary of Angers at the city archives.
I don't know if you have any experienc with city archives in France.

I found in the city archives of Antwerpen info about soldiers who were transferred from Antwerpen to the German military cemetary at Lommel.

Wim

[Alexdel]

ok Wim I will try maybe next week.
For your information they moved to Pornichet after the extension on a street in Angers. The german square, in the cemetery, was just on the way.
