A - Yes it is at the airfield on Lave straße opposite the football pitch next to the old paratroop barracks.

B - It is, as already pointed out, a general monument to all those from the airbase KIA, but in particular it is a monument to the paratroops (Sturmregiment and later Brigade Ramcke), who were based there before Eben Emael, Crete and North Africa/Tunisia. There is another plaque on the base from the Fallschirmjäger kameradschaft and the monument is known here as the "Fallschirmjäger Denkmal".

C - Yes it still exists. It has been ignored by the local council and was getting overgrown so once a month I go down there and clean and tidy it up.

D - It was erected during the war, the original inscription said "Führer, Volk und Vaterland", the word Führer being removed after the war's end, it has already been removed in the photo of your Granddad.

E - The translation has already been addressed in a previous post.

F - Bronze or copper I think.

I have several recent pictures but no idea how to put them on this site as for some reason it asks for a URL rather than just letting you load one up.
