Last year i have adopted the honoured grave of Pfc Harris Rodney W at the American cemetry of Margraten.
On my searce of his unit I found this sit of the Engineers.
Pfc Harris died in Holland for ower freedom,to honour him and so we will never forget i will try to found out what his unit the 372 engineer general service regiment was.
I hope to find some information about his unit,en probely some pictures.
When i now his unit marks I will remark my GMC to his unit.
I visit his grave at least 2 time a year and ofcourse on memorialday.
Most of you know the story of Hermann Goring and the guilty sentence placed on him at his trial. But how many of you know what happened to the body after he took his own life only hours before his scheduled hanging?
Well it is a most fitting one and one that bears repeating.
He was cremated at DACHAU and his ashes were dumped in a trash can.
Well Herr Goring, how did it feel to have your body placed in the same crematoriums as all the Jewish people and countless others that were slaughtered? Your too-good German blood and bones mixing with those you and Hilter deemed unworthy. Nuff said!
This site is an awesome place to start if you plan a vacation in Europe. It links to almost every major WWII site you can think of. This is where I found the information on Oradour Sur Glane.
