German infantry's 'role in Holocaust' to be added to war memorial

Litigation by three Holocaust survivors has swayed Germany's northern city of Lüneberg to add wording to a controversial war memorial. It spells out the former Wehrmacht division was involved in genocide.

It will spell out that the former 110th Infantry Division, created in the northern German city for Hitler's 1941 invasion of the Soviet Union, was "thus also involved in the genocide of Jews during the Shoah in the Soviet Union from 1941 to 1944," court spokeswoman Ines Mayer-Albrecht told DW.

They will now have a few more old people to harass, sue and condemn

I think the cities name is Lueneburg.

The claims about the division aren't even Holocaust related. It was about preventing civilians from "retreating with the Wehrmacht". At that stage of the war, they were only interested in individuals that could work. So they prevented the rest from going with them. Got to admit that I'd have to brush up my info on the affair, but I think there was an issue around it a while ago. The Volkslehrer made an interview with a person there that was on the city council telling him that the narrative had been distorted.

Typically you just select the little 'pencil' at the upper right, but the editing function does time out. Not sure how long that is, sorry. So, you can only edit a post soon after posting it. And we ask that no one edit a post after there has been a response, for obvious reasons.
