German Military Graveyard @ Finland
« on: 11-07-2011, 16:07:45 »

Happened to pass by this sign yesterday while biking with a friend, decided to go have a look:




(It is actually in Vantaa, located between Highway 4, Cemetery of Honkanummi and the Vantaa Prison)








Around half of all the graves had a time of death 12.12.1944, when Destroyers Z35 & Z36 where sunk on the Gulf of Finland. Both were laying mines off the coast of Estonia and struck German mines. The wall in the background are the prison walls.




Misty camera lens after being taken out from my pocket.




Photos taken with the crappy camera on my phone.



Not a very big place, nor well known, but thought you histofreaks would appreciate it.
It's half naked people on boats. That's all.
Here in Finland we call that "summer".

There's a Soviet Military Graveyard near my town. Each year there's a ceremony there in September. Maybe I'll post some photos of it too someday.
