A war cemetery next to the municipal cemetery of 1850, where 3,458 soldiers of the 1st Polish Army who fell in the Pomeranian operation in 1945 are buried.
The war cemetery in Drawsko Pomorskie lies on 11 Pułku Piechoty Street, next to the municipal cemetery founded in 1850. The remains of Polish soldiers who fell in 1945 rest here.
Buried here are 3,458 soldiers of the 1st Polish Army who fell in the Pomeranian operation in February and March 1945. The cemetery has two hundred gravestones with sandstone symbols of the Cross of Grunwald. Besides Polish soldiers, American and British prisoners of war also rest here.
One of the plaques, unveiled in 2005, commemorates fallen and deceased war invalids. The war cemetery itself adjoins the municipal necropolis, which has been in use since 1850, so the entrance leads through the grounds of an ordinary town cemetery. The cemetery is a place of remembrance and rest, so quiet and conduct appropriate to the place are expected.
