For almost three decades, the Association for the Recovery of the Fallen in Eastern Europe (Verein zur Bergung Gefallener in Osteuropa e.V., VBGO) has committed itself to the location, recovery, documentation, and identification of the missing victims of World War II. Through the tireless efforts of the VBGO volunteers, over 7.000 fallen soldiers have been recovered and given a proper burial, many of them having been identified. The VBGO's work contributes to the ongoing process of coming to terms with one of the darkest chapters in European history. Countless dead are still missing, but they are not forgotten. The aim of this text is to present the VBGO, its goals and work, and the battlefield of Klessin as the main focus of the VBGO.
近三十年来，东欧阵亡者遗骨寻回协会（德语：Verein zur Bergung Gefallener in Osteuropa e.V., VBGO）一直致力于寻找、找回、记录和辨认二战失踪受害者。通过VBGO志愿者们的不懈努力，已找回7000多名阵亡士兵并为他们举行了妥善安葬，其中许多人已被辨认身份。VBGO的工作有助于推进人们面对欧洲历史上最黑暗篇章之一的进程。仍有无数死者下落不明，但他们并未被遗忘。本文旨在介绍VBGO及其目标与工作，并将克莱辛战场作为VBGO的主要关注点进行阐述。
