Silent witness

Hürtgen-Forest/Germany ("Death factory"): Ten years after the fierce fighting in 1944/45 the remains of a german soldier of the 326th volksgrenadier-division had been found in the valley of Perlenbach (pearlcreek). The helmet penetrated by a shell splinter, below parts of the spine and the ribcage. To the right the rusty gasmask-canister.
