Next to the administration building there is a burial ground for 117 soldiers who were shot dead between August 21, 1944 and February 13, 1945 in the Murellenberg Mountains and who were accused of "decomposing military strength". To commemorate these and other people murdered there by the Nazi military justice system, the artist Patricia Pisani installed the memorials in memory of those murdered by the Nazi military justice system on Murellenberg in 2002 . Adjacent to these graves are 28 sacrificial graves of prisoners murdered in the Sachsenhausen, Dachau, Auschwitz, Buchenwald and Ravensbrück concentration camps.

106 traffic mirrors on the Murellenberg in Berlin's Westend district commemorate those shot by Wehrmacht execution commandos. Between August 12, 1944, and April 14, 1945, Wehrmacht units executed at least 230 soldiers, who had been sentenced to death for desertion or for »undermining military strength«.

Victims of Nazi military justice are people who were convicted by military courts (including field courts and alternative courts ) during the Nazi era . The judgments against certain groups of victims were overturned very late; advocating rehabilitation was a lengthy process.
