Borj Cedria - Tunisia's Only German World War II Military Cemetery

Yesterday was Volkstrauertag. This is a commemoration day in Germany to remember members of the armed forces of all nations and civilians who died in armed conflicts. I had no idea, but Tunisia is home to a large German military cemetery dedicated to the 8,562 German soldiers who lost their lives during Operation Torch and the subsequent Allied North Africa Campaign during World War II (1942-45). The cemetery is hidden on top of a forested hill in Borj Cedria, Nabeul Governorate, about 20km south-east of Tunis. ⏱️TIMESTAMPS⏱️ 0:00 - Intro 0:25 - Where to find the Borj Cedria cemetery 0:43 - Entrance 1:05 - How is it divided up? 2:03 - The Mateur graves 2:26 - Where is the historical context? 3:15 - Time to leave The other German military grave sites in North Africa are in El-Alamein (Egypt), Cairo (Egypt), Dély Ibrahim (Algeria), Ben M'Sick (Morocco) and Tobruk (Libya).
