CIMETIÈRE DE GUERRE DE RHEINBERG Allemagne
La ville de Rheinberg se situe à 24 kilomètres au nord de Krefeld et à 13 kilomètres au sud de Wesel, dans la localité de Kamp Lintfort, Nordrhein-Westfal. Le cimetière se situe à 3 kilomètres au sud du centre de la ville de Rheinberg sur le chemin allant vers Kamp Kintfort. À partir de l’autoroute 57, tournez à Rheinberg et, à la jonction T, suivez l’autoroute 510 vers Kamp Lintfort. Le cimetière se situe à une courte distance sur ce chemin à droite. L’Army Graves Service a choisi le site du cimetière de guerre de Rheinberg en avril 1946 pour rassembler les sépultures de guerre du Commonwealth récupérées des nombreux cimetières allemands se trouvant aux environs. La majorité de ceux qui sont maintenant enterrés au cimetière étaient des aviateurs, dont les tombes ont été apportées de Dusseldorf, de Krefeld, de Munchen-Gladbach, d’Essen, d’Aachen et de Dortmund; 250 des tombes ont été apportées de Cologne. La plupart des hommes qui sont enterrés ici et qui viennent des autres services de combat ont perdu la vie durant la bataille de Rhineland ou en se rendant du Rhin vers l’Elbe. À l’heure actuelle, 3326 militaires du Commonwealth de la Deuxième Guerre mondiale sont enterrés ou commémorés au cimetière de guerre de Rheinberg. De ces tombes, 156 ne sont pas identifiées. Il y a également neuf sépultures de guerre qui viennent d’autres nationalités, dont la plupart sont polonaises.
