Bemerkungen des
Einsenders:
Fort Custer National Cemetery, Kalamazoo county, Michigan. East
from Augusta, MI at 15501 Dickman Road (Highway 96) in the
direction of Kalamazoo, MI USA.
From the
entrance drive to Chiawa Way, left from there to the German
memorial it is clearly signed. The memorial is located in
section B and the German grave markers are the only vertical
stones. Other memorials for fallen US soldiers, buried after the
site became a National Cemetery, are flat at ground level and
thus these individual 26 German Gravestones are easily seen.
The annual memorial service takes place at 2:00pm the Sunday
following Veterans Day. In recent years, 2 of the remaining
German POW soldiers have also attended the memorial service.
