Refugee and Soldiers' Cemetery St. Johann/Wolfsberg

On this cemetery, during World War II, four Polish and several hundred Soviet soldiers were buried. On the cemetery grounds, a memorial plaque states the exact number of 843 deceased; 356 of them were known by name at the time of the installation of an information plaque (see the respective entry in the database). However, the actual number of Soviet prisoners of war who died here is likely higher, with estimates ranging up to 1,500. The deceased are referred to on the memorial plaque as "Russian prisoners of war"; however, the soldiers of the Red Army came from all parts of the Soviet Union.
