Missing, not Forgotten. The German Association for the Recovery of the Fallen in Eastern Europe (VBGO e.V.).

Abstract:

:For almost three decades, the Association for the Recovery of the Fallen in Eastern Europe (Verein zur Bergung Gefallener in Osteuropa e.V., VBGO) has committed itself to the location, recovery, documentation, and identification of the missing victims of World War II. Through the tireless efforts of the VBGO volunteers, over 7.000 fallen soldiers have been recovered and given a proper burial, many of them having been identified. The VBGO's work contributes to the ongoing process of coming to terms with one of the darkest chapters in European history. Countless dead are still missing, but they are not forgotten. The aim of this text is to present the VBGO, its goals and work, and the battlefield of Klessin as the main focus of the VBGO.
