Ehrenfriedhof am Maschsee-Nordufer

5 The Hiwayman - 4 years ago

Murdered forced workers. We stumbled across the graveyard by chance. It's really quite moving especially when you realise the ages of the victims. Some would be classed as children nowadays and some prisoners of war. They, numbering 154, were killed, on the morning of April 6th 1945, by the Gestapo, less than 24 hours before American soldiers arrived in Hannover in a deliberate act of senseless vengeance. By this time the war was already lost for Germany. It's very sad that such acts of cruelty were and are still done around the world.

Well preserved and such an event must be remembered. It is only a pity that the information board is in German and Russian, I would appreciate English.

Memento mori

5 Vladimir “Woffka_ru” Lebedev - a year ago

(Translated by Google) It's good that the cemetery is being looked after as a memento. It's bad that the politicians are again acting senselessly and are striving for wars instead of peace.

(Original)
Gut, dass man zur Erinnerung den Friedhof pflegt. Schlecht, dass die Politiker wieder sinnlos handeln und statt Frieden die Kriege anstreben.
