Quote:

My company leader, Lieutenant Friedrich Lengfeld has found eternal rest in grave No. 38 of the community cemetery in Düren-Rolsdorf. He was a company leader I could never forget; a true soldier, even in his dealings with the enemy. It is a tragedy that he had to die in the morning of 11/12/44. He was trying to help a severely wounded American soldier, who was crying for help after having been hit between the lines, when he himself stepped on a land mine. The way to the Hürtgen Forest led me to his grave after a meeting with American veterans on 09/20/89. This was the first time that I dared to walk into that area that had been covered by mines, south of today's soldier cemetery in Hürtgen. I found the sunken structures of our company command post rather quickly, at a narrow path south of the minefield "Wild Boar." This was the dugout I had last shared with Lieutenant Lengfeld. I was very happy to receive a picture of Lengfeld after a prolonged search, last November. I had already received a picture of my comrade Alfons Bösl, also a runner, who had fallen prey to a mine on 11/17/44 at the combat post H rtgen. He had carried a dead soldier to the command post that we had recovered. His descendants sent me the photograph.

In Memory
In Honor
In Glory
