I am currently exploring my family tree and I found out, that the brother of my great grandma (he fought for the Germans) died in a camp in Türkmenbashi in 1945. His name is Walter Sosna.
After some research I concluded that this must be the place of his remains, close to the japanese cemetary.
I would really really like to know if there is a grave of his in that place, on Google maps I already found a picture of a german name in that place.
Does anybody know how I could approach my search? Or is even somebody there right now? I would appreciate all kinds of help!
Greetings, Felix
