Description

The first English-language history of Germany’s Langemark military cemetery.

Studetenfriedhof to Soldatenfriedhof charts the evolution of German war cemetery Langemark from its creation during World War I, through the influence of the Nazis before and during World War II, and into the modern cemetery it is today. Dispelling many of the myths and legends that surround the cemetery, Studetenfriedhof to Soldatenfriedhof takes readers on a detailed self-guided tour, following the route planned by its designer in the early 1930s. The clever use of “then and now” images bring the cemetery’s rich history to life, all while walking in the footsteps of the past.
