grave markers

How many years after the war did these more intriquite grave markers last?

Were they removed simply becuase of there symbles?
Destroyed by vandals?
or taken by souvenier hungry GI's?

Does anyone have one in there collection?
Or is this conssiderd taboo?

Alot of work went into these stunning I must say!

I obtained a helmet in relic condition that I believe was used as part of a grave marker. There is some damage to the helmet on the lower left hand side. On the very top is a small hole that has been made to keep the helmet on a post. The poor soul who wore the helmet must have been killed in a blast. A very interesting piece.

Hello,

Who was responsible for the removal of German soldier's remains to official war cemetaties during the war years? Were there official German military war cemetaries during WW2 or were they established after the war?

Three more graves pics.

Best regards,
Larrister
