Remains of Wehrmacht soldiers to be buried in Hlucin, North Moravia

The remains of around 4,000 WWII German soldiers are to be finally laid to rest in a new cemetery in the town of Hlucin, North Moravia. Local authorities reached the decision on Tuesday. At the moment the remains have been stored at a Czech military site in Central Bohemia. The remains of German soldiers from World War II were only recently rediscovered in storage at a factory site in Bohemia earlier this year. In the 1990s a German association for the care of war graves began exhuming bodies of the soldiers to be reburied at a Prague cemetery, but the project collapsed after running out of funds.
