Annen thanked the German War Graves Commission and the City of Sisak for restoring the joint grave.
Remembering dead soldiers give us hope in a peaceful and happy future for our children and grandchildren, he said, adding that he was sure the residents of Sisak would maintain the joint grave.
Berlin resident Karin Ritter deserves the most credit for the restoration of the joint grave.
Before visiting the ossuary, during talks with Mayor Dinko Pintaric, it was said that Croats and Germans were aware of the importance of remembering all dead soldiers and that their families, offspring and friends should be enabled to pay their respects in a dignified manner.
