Looking for a picture from a German wartime memorial in Soviet Union, Crimea

#1

Post by BaltischeLandswehr » 16 Nov 2017, 11:23

I was reading a book yesterday about German solider fighting in Soviet Union called "In Deadly Combat: A German Soldier's Memoir of the Eastern Front" by Gottlob Herbert Bidermann. In the book the author mentions a wartime memorial dedicated to 132. Infanterie-Division in Crimea. I hoped to find a photo of it in the internet but I can't seem to find it. Most likely it was destroyed after Soviet Union regained control of Crimea.

Here is the paragraph from the book that mentions the memorial in the attachment
