Losses
According to archive documents, there were 10 prisoner-of-war cemeteries where numerous deceased were buried. So far, 874 deceased prisoners of war are known by name.
Country planning to date
The survey that was carried out showed that two of the 10 prisoner-of-war cemeteries are located in the territory of the present Central Asian state of Kyrgyzstan. Of the remaining 8 cemeteries, only 5 still exist. The others were destroyed due to construction measures in the post-war period.
The five cemeteries were restored between 1997 and 2002 and are now under continuous maintenance.
