The Soldier's Cemetery at Narvik, Norway.

In the Soldier's Cemetery of Narvik, Norway, the casualties of "Gebirgsjaegerregimentes 139" and crews of the destroyer flotilla Bonte found their final resting place. Also buried here are some of the recovered victims of the 1944 crash of a German Luftwaffe plane carrying service members back to Germany. The cemetery was started by the German Wehrmacht in 1940 and is a part of the city cemetery of Narvik, which is located near the Rombakken fjord.

The cemetery is maintained by "The Volksbund Deutsche Kriegsgräberfürsorge e. V." which is a humanitarian organization which is charged by the Federal Republic of taking care of registering the German war dead abroad and to ensuring that it is updated and monitored. The German Public Alliance advises relatives of war grave care, supervises public and private sites, supports international cooperation and assists within the sector of war grave care and fostering the engagement of young people in the last resting-place of the war-dead.
