Stand where they fought - The Bulge 2007 - southern Flank

[Juerg]

This memorial is named "Massegraf" (mass grave), located at the exact site, where over 160 German soldiers and several American soldiers had been temporarily buried together in 1945 pending removal and reburial. The escape fighting took place until December 20, 1944. On that day Capt Kimmelmann and his group of wounded soldiers became POW of the germans after they surrendered.

The plaque is dedicated to "ALL SOLDIERS" killed in the woods around Schumanns Eck.

 

In the woods around the Schumanns Eck a lot of foxholes can still be found. Here is one of the bigger ones.
