Daniel,
Hats off to whoever did the research and convinced the right Commission to put this memorial in place. It takes a lot of dedicated detective work. (Was that you, Daniel?)
I'm sure the family members were pleased.
Good job.

Thanks for Your nice words.
It was not done by me I´m a simple master sergeant in the S3 branch but it happened in our Area of responsibility in Brandenburg.
We have a lot to do with the heritage of WW2. Mostly not exploded bombs around Berlin but sometimes also something exciting like this. I do also some work for the German war grave commission and it is always good after so many yeard to honor the old soldiers and help their families.

Best regards

Daniel
