The German War Graves Society reburied thereafter another 3.751 German casualties that had been buried on several other cemeteries along the former bridgehead of Anzio-Nettuno. In the years between 1948 and 1955, the German War Graves Society reburied another 10.704 fallen German soldiers who were interred in the municipal graveyards of the cities of Rome, Latina, Salerno, Avellino, Frosinone, L'Aquila, Chieti, Sienna and Pistoia.
After an agreement between the Italian and German governments on the 22nd of December 1955, another 10.228 German casualties were reburied. These were soldiers who had been buried in the provinces or cities of Ancona, Arrezzo, Ascoli, Grosseto, Latina, Livorno, Macerata, Napoli, Perugia, Pesaro, Rieti, Rome, Siena, Terni, Viterbo and Reggio di Calabria. In total 27.443 German soldiers found their last resting place in Pomezia.
From the entrance building a straight and paved walkway leads along the graves to the central memorial that has been raised above the graveyard. Four heavy pillars carry a canopy that has been ornamented on the lower side with a mosaic of colored pieces of stone. The column in the middle has been adorned with four life-sized figures that mourn about their fellow soldiers. The graves with their crosses out of natural stone, are surrounded by clusters of pine trees.
