The Berlin 1939-1945 Commonwealth War Graves Commission cemetery is one of two World War II Commonwealth cemeteries in Berlin.[1] It was established in 1945 as a central burial ground for aircrew and prisoners of war who were interred in the Berlin area and in East Germany.[1] There are also 260 burials from the post-war British Occupation Authorities staff, or their relatives.[1] Of the wartime burials, about 80% are aircrew, killed in action over Germany: the remainder are prisoners of war.[1]
