 The plaque is located by the side of a surviving ww2 concrete obstacle

    Is that a group of re-enactors at the ceremony?

    Nice to see it commemorated. So many of those old defences vanish over the years.

    Interesting story, Alan, thanks for sharing. Interesting to see the Fallschirmjager - Good to see the balance of re-enactors for the public event. Having been to several 1940s events, I have found people are always fascinated to meet both 'sides' of the situation. It helps you understand the reason or the threats more clearly.
