[QUOTE="fidbald, post: 84566, member: 61"]there is sadly no backstory at all. the wall it was cemented in was 50 years old. I suspect that it was taken from one of the many demolished chapels here in Alsace; a further problem is that this corner of Alsace was a German pocket in the last war, first liberated by the Free French and then reconquered by Heini's last contingent of SS and other krapp, before finally being liberated. for a tombstone it's too small iMO, 27 centimeters are just shy of 11 inches.[/QUOTE]
