In 1947 the Dutch Government decided to repatriate the remains of the Dutchmen that had succumbed in Germany during the Second World War. The Oorlogsgraven Stichting (the Foundation for Wargraves) started in 1948 with the establishment of a field of honor in the village of Loenen near Apeldoorn. You can find here graves adorned with flat laid tombstones. Centrally on the field of honor there is a chapel with a shrine for the Memorial Books, the plaque on the wall with the names of the “Engelandvaarders†and some urns with ashes from concentration camps.
