George Mergenthaler - 28th Division
#3

Sure one of a kind, no?

It is something standing inside that Chapel looking at his face.

Also a little eerie being on the spot where they found his field grave.

Apparently, they buried him quickly and stuk his rifle in the ground with helmet on top.

 

Reminds me of the place where a glider crashed while on its way to an LZ north of Eindhoven on September 17, 1944.

The place where the monument is, is quiet, peaceful ..... but the actual crash site feels cold and scary.

Call me crazy, but that's the feeling I get when there (I avoid going to the actual crash site and only stay near the monument).

 

If you are interested, I can open a new topic with the story of this glider?
