In the last days of the war, the Soviet soldiers who were killed in this area were buried in the Market Square in Czarnków. The post-war period was not conducive to carrying out the exhumation activities and the situation was slowly forgotten. It was only during the reconstruction of the Market Square in 2004/5 that the excavation was carried out and the section for remains of the Soviet soldiers was created in the town cemetery. However, a question arose where the escaping Germans, who also had to die in the clashes, were buried. In Poland, in places where fights took place during World War II, there are still graves of soldiers outside cemeteries, about which only local residents know. Research in the area of Czarnków, in Great Poland, confirmed that there are places where German soldiers are buried to this day. Local residents, who were usually witnesses of deaths, buried the dead. Thus, the memory of events and care for these places has become an element of memory for generations. The research revealed over 50 burials scattered throughout the commune of Czarnków. In order to commemorate the graves of the Germans, a formula has been envisaged that takes into account their very different locations: the sign of the cross referring in form to the crosses on German military quarters in cemeteries in Poland.
