The PNN and the Tagesspiegel reported on this in 2009 and 2010. I also found the figure "80,000 dead" there. The local history society considers this number too high.
Perhaps the number also refers to the Halbe Pocket, where only 25,000 of 100,000 German soldiers survived? Halbe is only 50 km to the east, and the escape attempts took place to the west.

100,000 were encircled in Halbe, of which 25,000 survived.
Does the cross have anything to do with this battle?
Halbe is only 50 km away, and those who escaped the encirclement fled westward.
