Here's an unusual grave, that of a war dog. He was faithful unto death. Can anyone make out what it says on the grave marker?Comment

It seems that there is written "Meldehund" - "messenger dog" in the last line.

Dog's grave
Hi Gerdan,
Thanks for your help. Too bad the dog's name isn't on the marker. Still we at least know what his assignment was. Also, that some soldier cared enough for him that he took the time to bury the dog, as well as marking the grave.Comment

Messenger dogs have been held in hight esteem in the German army. They mostly did a very good job and helped to reduce human casualities. They have been real comrades of the soldiers and shared all troble with them.

The next four photos show a Luftwaffe funeral procession. There is a KC winner following the coffin. I'm hoping that someone will recognize him. Here's the first photo.Comment
