I Found the Tannenberg Memorial!

Amazing that somethng that is "not there" can be so clearly seen in a satillite photo (when the trees cooperate). Great clues in my search were found at http://www.ostpreussen.net, an "auf deutsch" site with a lot of info on the present conditions in the former East Prussia area. I deciphered it as best I could with Babblefish... could some German-speaker PLEASE check it out and report back? I think it says that there is a proposal to build some new joint German/Polish/Russian Military Cemetary at the Memorial site??

The fir mountain monument was blown up and cleared by Polish engineer teams 1952/53, whereby a part of the stones with the building of a memory monument in Olsztyn - all stone use found. Only one today still finds few ruin fragments. Recently (2004) the homeland circle municipality speaks a Mausoleum with representatives of the city high stone to open the grave chamber Hindenburgs in the Hindenburgturm and therein for the Germans pleased in the fir mountain battle to furnish Russian and Polish soldiers.
