Golm is one of the largest war cemeteries in Germany and the largest in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. It is located near Kamminke, directly on the German-Polish border near Świnoujście. The site was established starting in 1944, initially as a soldiers' cemetery. It became particularly known for the victims of the American air raid on Swinemünde on March 12, 1945, in which, according to current estimates, between 4,000 and 6,000 people died – many of them refugees and civilians. Thousands of dead were buried at Golm.
