HANOVER MILITARY CEMETERY Germany

Hanover Military Cemetery adjoins Hanover War Cemetery. From the motorway A2/E34, which runs between Dortmund and Berlin, turn off at Junction 40 onto the 441 in the direction of Hannover, Ahlem and Seelze. After 7 kilometres turn right at the sign for Harrenberg, along Seelzestrasse, and continue through Harrenberg to the T junction and then turn left towards Hannover. Hanover Military Cemetery and Hanover War Cemetery are on the left of this road, 3 kilometres from the boundary of Harrenberg.
