Military cemetery to be built in Cheb

The west-Bohemian town of Cheb has agreed to establish a military cemetery for German soldiers who died on Czech territory during the Second World War. Until now, the soldiers’ remains were kept in Usti nad Labem and Brdy. Cheb councillors have agreed to build the cemetery on the condition that it will not be just for German soldiers but for any victims of war. The cemetery will be built using German funds.
