Memorial or cemetery
Rapla II maailmasõja matmispaik
German: Rappel
In Rapla cemetery lies a common grave of people killed in the fighting around Rapla on 9–11 August 1941. That July and August, 43 local and other people who died violently were buried in the cemetery: 14 fell in battle, six were chance victims of the fighting and 23 were shot at or near their homes. Nineteen of them rest in this shared plot, and their names are known. In August 2001 the Rapla unit of the Defence League raised a memorial here with public donations and it states explicitly that it does not honour those who fought in the Soviet army.

Rapla kalmistul on ühishaud inimestele, kes hukkusid Rapla lahingutes 9.–11. augustil 1941. Sama aasta juulis ja augustis maeti kalmistule 43 vägivaldselt surnud kohalikku ja kaugemalt pärit inimest: 14 langes lahingus, kuus olid lahingute juhuslikud ohvrid ja 23 lasti maha kodus või kodu lähedal. Neist 19 puhkavad sellel ühisplatsil ja nende nimed on teada. 2001. aasta augustis püstitas Kaitseliidu Rapla malev rahva annetustega siia mälestusmärgi ning see ei ole püstitatud Nõukogude sõjaväes võidelnute auks.
