This online database covers German war graves from Egypt to Uzbekistan and includes:

the graves of over 1.8 million German and foreign soldiers who died in World Wars I and II in Germany
Memorials to those who perished in the Prussian-Danish wars of 1845-51 and 1864 and other border wars in which Germans were involved.
It is a German language site but can be negotiated by the non-German speaker with a bit of effort.

Search by Surname (Nachname) and date of birth (Geburtsdatum) except for World War I casualties for whom you will need to substitute date of death (Todesdatum).

It is also possible to search for war casualties born in a partcular part of Germany (Geburtsort).
