Information panel for the Refugee and Soldiers' Cemetery St. Johann/Wolfsberg

Before the entrance gate to the Refugee and Soldiers' Cemetery, a plaque in German and English informs visitors about the history of the soldiers' cemetery. Alongside deceased Polish and Soviet prisoners of war (see the entries for the Monument to Polish Soldiers and the Monument to Soviet Prisoners of War in the database), Allied soldiers were also buried there during World War II, including French, Italians, British, Belgians, and Dutch soldiers who died in the final months of the war when the United States Air Force mistakenly bombed the prisoner-of-war camp. After the end of the war, they were exhumed and reburied in other cemeteries in Carinthia or in their home countries. The information plaque also reports on war refugees from Ukraine who were buried in this cemetery during World War I.
