Klagenfurt War Cemetery
Austria
About
Klagenfurt War Cemetery in Carinthia is the only Commonwealth war cemetery in Austria, begun in 1945 by the British occupation forces who gathered into it graves from across the country. It holds some 590 Commonwealth dead of the Second World War — mainly airmen shot down or crashed while flying over Austria, men who died as prisoners in the many camps established there after the 1938 annexation, and soldiers of the post-war army of occupation. Most served the United Kingdom, with Australians, New Zealanders, South Africans, Canadians and Indians also among them.
