Till today, you can see the impact in the tree-row -76 years after. It is 200 meters from my home and when I have a walk together with my dog, I pass the place. Rest in Peace!

The Americans KIA got a burial in my home village 200 m nearby. In 1945 their bodies moved home. Sorry, english is not my mother-language, but Bobby Joe is still known.
