Wörgl Cemetery
The cemetery in Wörgl, Friedhof Wörgl – Waldfriedhof, in Austria has some graves of World War Two.
There is a reminder of the local names of people who lost their lives during the war with a special remark on General Major Josef Gangl. Josef “Sepp” Gangl and the German Wehrmacht helped French prominent prisoners and Eastern European forced laborers, together with the U.S. Army and Austrian Resistance to hold off Waffen-SS forces in the Battle for Itter Caste. The Waffen-SS units wanted to kill all the prisoners during the last few day of the Second World War.
Josef Gangl is seen by the Austrians as a hero and has a street named after him, next to the Wörgl cemetery.
Visit
The cemetery is free to visit during daytime hours.
