The village of Racrange was liberated by the Americans on November 15, 1944. Barely two weeks later, Victor Dreyer, a farmer, and his son Gilbert, were returning from Rodalbe, where they had been preparing for the return of their family, who had been expelled to the Dordogne. The German army had protected their retreat by planting mines on the path through the forest. The wheels of the wagon triggered the explosion that sent the entire team flying into the trees; Twelve-year-old Gilbert was killed instantly; his father died the next day. The explosion, heard as far away as the newly liberated village, plunged Racrange into deep disarray. His other son, Bernard, would serve as mayor of the town for 24 years. This memorial, erected in their memory on the Chemin de la Seille by the family, reminds us of our vigilance in defending peace, freedom, and our democracy.

The Story of the Russian Grave in the Guessling-Hemering Forest The following story recounts dramatic events that occurred during a war that has left its mark on the minds of our fellow citizens for generations. This story takes place in the Guessling Forest towards the end of 1944; let us remember that such serious events are not exceptional in wartime. According to some accounts, there was a chain of solidarity among escaped Russian soldiers through the region's forests, starting in Munster and passing through the Guessling Forest to Arriance. At that time, five Russian soldiers, prisoners of war and escapees from a German camp, had taken refuge in the Guessling Forest. The five soldiers had dug a hiding place near a small water source. The presence of these men did not escape the notice of a remarkable man from our village, Mr. Théodore Freese, a forest ranger in the Guessling-Boustroff sector. These escapees, having grown accustomed to his presence, trusted him and befriended him. In return, he often provided them with food. According to the correspondence of a Russian journalist written after the war, it appears that the forest ranger also provided them with weapons for their defense. But as time passed and the war drew to a close, these escapees became reckless… It is clear that the presence of these Russians did not escape the notice of other passersby in this sector of the forest. Following a serious incident, the German soldiers organized a massive raid on the places where they suspected they would find traces of these Russian soldiers. Unfortunately, it was at this moment that one of the five soldiers from the Guessling Forest chose to go and fetch water from the spring, and, by bad luck, he was spotted by the German soldiers who had surrounded the area. The Russian soldier, seeing himself discovered, took refuge in the higher-up hiding place, believing himself safe from the Germans. The German soldiers, having followed him, had no trouble killing the five men on the spot by throwing grenades into the hiding place. They remained buried in the same spot until 1978, when an official Russian delegation came to dig them up. The remains of these five Russian soldiers were transported and buried in the Niederbronn-les-Bains cemetery in Alsace, where 15,000 German soldiers who died during the last war are also buried. The chronology of this story is based on numerous testimonies from the inhabitants of our village. The men we just mentioned were filled with a feeling that led them to believe that nothing more could happen to them. Indeed, in 1944, the imminent end of the war seemed obvious to many people. The end of this story was confirmed to us by many residents of our town who also fed these Russian soldiers and who had witnessed their recklessness. Entire families in our village were thus put in danger. We cannot tell the story of the Russian soldiers' grave without mentioning the forest ranger to whom we owe the testimony of certain events that were unknown to our citizens. Mr. Théodore Freese, to whom we wish to pay this special tribute, was very discreet at the time and was well aware that carelessness could be fatal, as he constantly risked his life for this network of escaped Russian soldiers. Having been informed that the German authorities had discovered his connections with Russian soldiers, he was only just able to escape arrest. After the war, he received numerous tributes from former escaped Russian prisoners who, by letter or in the Moscow press, cited him as a key and trusted figure during this sad period of the war. In one of these letters, a former prisoner thanked him for his services and cited in the same letter the names of the five Russian soldiers killed: Wasili Chniniu, Petr Krawschenko, Petr Schanka, Semen Grinevo, and Echim Muhin. He particularly wanted to thank the following people from our village: Muller Charles, Muller Joséphine, Hullar Jacques, Hullar Henriette, Bintz Charles, Doller Eugénie, Krauser Isidore, Posson Clémentine, Jacob Nicolas, Klein Georges, Turck Cécile, and Zint Auguste. Here is an excerpt from another letter from a former Russian soldier written in 1967 to Théodore Freese: "In the most difficult days for us, you, a true patriot of France, provided us with immense help by supplying us with provisions, weapons, and ammunition. And all this under the conditions of the German occupation of Lorraine. It was a heroic feat, dear comrade Théo! We remember it with deep gratitude."

“Each of these crosses can tell its own story and what motivated people to erect “their” cross at this spot. (...) These wayside crosses were erected as visible signs and attract the attention of many people. The cross is a symbol of life. It stands as a sign of our Christian hope and aims to direct our gaze to Jesus Christ, who has overcome death (...). The cross is part of our lives, just as it was part of the life of Jesus. So I hope that many people ... will visit the wayside crosses, whether as places of silence and breathing before God, whether as places of community gathering, prayer and praise of God.” (Text source: Dean Rainald M. Ollig in: “Wayside crosses... small sacred monuments as signs of popular piety”)

In 1621, Duke Heinrich II granted market rights to Isming, but the town then suffered during the Thirty Years' War. During the war, an officer saved the city archives in the town hall tower via an underground passage and was able to hold the town for a long time, but then it was also depopulated and the town hall was destroyed. In 1664 there were only 80 households. This cross was erected in front of the south-west entrance to Albestroff, where the old chapel destroyed by the Swedes is said to have stood.
