Pforzheim memorials go online...



The memorials from the main cemetery in Pforzheim are now online. They include two memorials from local guilds in memory of their colleagues who died in the war (the butchers' memorial is shown here), the "Honor Cemetery" for the fallen of the First World War, the "Honor Field" for the fallen in the Second World War, a memorial to POWs, and the civilian mass grave for the 17,000 victims of the Allied air raid on 23 February, 1945. There is also a memorial to a man executed for mutiny during the Revolution of 1848-1849 in Germany. Together with the Wallberg memorial "rubble hill" posted some months ago, all material I have available from Pforzheim is now posted.
