Memorials/Places related to the Free Indian Legion

I will be travelling to Berlin, and would like to know if there is any memorial dedicated to the Free Indian Legion soldiers, or any place I can visit related to the soldiers.
I’ve searched google endlessly and cannot find anything.
Would greatly appreciate the help.

Are you referring to the memorial in Zehrensdorf Indian Cemetery?

If that is not the case and no one can be of help could I suggest that you contact
someone from the Indian community in Berlin.

From your link:
Located 40 km from Berlin, Zehrensdorf Indian Cemetery is the final resting place for 206 Indian soldiers who died in captivity and were buried in the cemetery Zehrensdorf during the First World War. The cemetery is one of the largest ‘Indian’ (and Gurkha) cemeteries from the First World War in (Eastern) Europe.
Not related with the Free Indian Legion, then.
