July 2017 - Return to the Schoenbuch Forest 4

The first photo above shows the entrance to the cemetery in the centre of Herrenberg. It contains the graves of several soldiers who are known to have been with Viktor Wagner when he died. His death and the ensuing mystery inspired my book. On the last day of my stay in Herrenberg I went for a walk between Entringen and the university town of Tuebingen. On the way, I found the forest grave shown in the second photo above.  I had never seen nor ever heard of this grave but it commemorates the death of a German lieutenant on 25 April 1945. Perhaps it might inspire another novel - "Schoenbuch Forest 2." Unfortunately, I have been unable to find any information concerning the grave and the remains it contains. Perhaps a little detective work is in order!
