Geocache Description:


“ Do forgive but do not forget “

 

These words are mostly mentioned every time a war memorial is inaugurated to recall one of so many cruel or heroic events during World War 2.

The construction of a memorial monument, after exactly sixty years, is a proof that this sentence is not an empty slogan.

 

13 young allied soldiers (England, Canada, New Zealand) lost their lives when their two Lancaster bombers were shot down in the night of 12th-13th August 1944 near this place.

 

Near Weiswampach a memorial for these soldiers and for all allied soldiers who died fighting here nearby- during the Battle of the Bulge (12/16/1944 – 01/25/1945)- was built.

 

1. Count the metal plates with a specific sign on the ground = A


2. How many of the fallen soldiers were in the RAF (Royal Air Force)? = B


3. C = A/2

The final is at: N50 08,(30*A)+(A*B)-3 E006 06,(110*C)+4
