The last works planned for 2026 to improve the two tombstones of Soviet military personnel buried in the Tranker cemetery have been completed. The monuments were thoroughly cleaned in a workshop and installed at the burial site on November 11.
Very little information about these fallen warriors has survived to this day. It is known that in May 1945, the bodies of two drowned Soviet prisoners of war were washed ashore on the Danish island of Langland in the area of Baamskov, who tried to swim ashore from a German floating dock that ran aground. Later one of the servants was identified (I. Vlalandt), the name of the other remains unknown. Local residents buried the soldiers in the parish cemetery at Tranker Church.
The embassy expresses its sincere gratitude to the Danish company that carried out the repair work, as well as to our compatriots who took care of this burial site and took the initiative to restore it.
In 2027, work will continue on improving and repairing Soviet military graves. No one forgets and nothing forgets!
