In Memoriam

PAID a return visit to the section of the Bischofsgrün Panormaweg that includes the cemetery of a former military hospital.
This time, instead of more-or-less just popping my head through the entrance, I walked round the cemetery.
Bell-tower memorial to soldiers killed in the Franco-Prussian War, WW1 and WW2

The roundel at the bottom of the bell tower appears to list the number of soldiers from the town killed in each of those three wars

A specifically WW2 memorial

"The stone tent of the dead soldiers" (a literal translation that probably does not capture the true spirit of the wording)

Inside the "stone tent" - perhaps "tabernacle" is a less literal but better translation
