Hi
I was reading in 'An Honourable Defeat' by Anton Gill that Stauffenberg's body was interred in a cemetery near to he Bendlerblock, before being exhumed and cremated by the Nazis. Does anyone know where that cemetery was, and if it still exists?
Thanks
Paul

Re: Stauffenberg's body
Alter St.-Matthäus-Kirchhof, Berlin-Schöneberg
The bodies were only buried there for a couple of days before Himmler ordered them to be exhumed and cremated.
There is still a memorial stone in the cemetery today.

You should also visit the Benderblock and the Plötzensee Prison memorial, including the execution shed.
