at this place , the 30 DIV (Hans Friedrich TROLL ) had to cross the river de SCHELDE under fire in 1940 . Culd be the place Hans Friederich Troll felt.
Interested can always give me a call as I have most names , birthday and death , sometimes the unit and the rank of the German soldiers that were in the Ehrenfriedhof in Ronse
The graves had no cross , only a freestone picket . The grave could be identified by the number on the picket. The number on the picket of Hans Friedrich TROLL was no.211
Situation in 1941. 68 German soldiers were on the Ehrenfriedhof. In october 1942 Mr. Cordier and Ms. Holvoet-Boddin had to sell a part of their property to enlarge the Ehrenfriedhof. All German soldiers fallen in the surroundings of de Schelde in 1940 (see also my pages of the British soldiers on a lot of graveyards around de Schelde) were brought together in Ronse. (478 names) In august 1948 a number of 513 German soldiers were taken to the German cementery in Lommel by the Service Identification and Cementeries of the Ministry Department of Home Affaires
between this trees (who where not there in 1940) I can situate the provisional grave of Hans Friedrich , born on the 13-04-1887 in Annaberg-Buchholz , fallen in Oudenaarde the 20-05-1940. Now his grave can be found in the Kriegsgräberstätte in Lommel (blok 25 grab 159)
