And the location seems to be a typo: almost certainly Marche, in the Belgian Ardennes.

Thank you Pieter H. and Matti for proper location.

I have found the grave of Uffz. Siegfried Lorenz (Bf) at Mannheim-Sandhofen, but the grave of Fw. Alfed Beuse (FF) must be in a private grave as the VDK have no record.

It seems odd that they were not buried in Belgium?

Hi,



Grune is a small location, part of the village Nassogne (postalcode 6952), located close to Marche-en-Famenne. Try on Google maps with :
50°09'23.2"N 5°22'49.3"E
50.156437, 5.380370

Best regards from another part of Belgium

Luc
