The first indepth history of Langemark German Cemetery to be published with the English speaking visitor in mind, Studentenfriedhof to Soldatenfriedhof tells the story of the evolution of Langemark German cemetery from its creation in the Great War, the influence of the Nazis before and during WW2 and its evolution into the modern cemetery of today. Dispelling many of the myths and legends that surround the cemetery, Studentenfriedhof to Soldatenfriedhof takes the visitor on a detailed self-guided tour, following the route planned by its designer in the early 1930’s. The clever use of “then and now” images helps the visitor visualise the evolution of the cemetery and explains the “who, what and why” of it all whilst walking in the footsteps of the past.
The book is split into 3 sections, the first is a detailed history of the cemetery, the second is a guided tour and the third is a facts and figures section. At this moment it is published in English only.
