This is the largest CWGC cemetery in Germany for the fallen in WW2 and contains gravestones for around 7500 servicemen from British forces and other Allied forces. https://www.cwgc.org/visit-us/find-cemeteries-memorials/cem
We will be visiting the area in May and would be happy to take photos of gravestones in this cemetery of servicemen you are tracing. This is something we have done before and found it touching that the stone for the airman we were looking for was placed alongside those of his fellow crew members.
My uncle's name appears on a memorial board at Groesbeek Cemetery, just over the border in Holland, which is principally for Canadian troops. Sadly my uncle's body was never found, so he does not have a gravestone, just a mention on the memorial board.
