WW2 cemetery in Esbjerg. I think more than three hundred stones, each stone = four persons. German soldiers killed during WW2. Many were killed by an American air-raid on the German airbase. Most of the civilians buried here were refugees from Eastern Prussia - children, old women and men died of starvation and exhaustion. About 20 miles away (Oxbøl) there was a refugee camp with more than 35000 Germans after WW2. They had to stay in Denmark for years - The Allied did not allow them to go back to Germany. The last German refugee left Denmark in 1950 I believe.
