    The "real" monument. The large monument was erected by the Nazis and used for their propaganda purposes.

    A more detailed description, including its political appropriation, can be found on Bernd Hainmüller's website:

    Small memorial to the British, also known as the Eaton Cross. The cross was placed by Mr. Eaton for his only son who died here on April 17th in a snow storm. I also wanted to say that the teacher was partly responsible for the catastrophe.
