U.S. Memorial WERETH

 On Sep 11, 1994, Hermann Langer erected a small stone cross to remember the eleven black G.I.s of the 333rd Field Artillery Battalion who were murdered by German SS after they had surrendered during the second  day of the Battle of the Bulge.   This new memorial, dedicated on May 23, 2004, honors their memory and all black G.I.s and segregated units who fought in Europe during WW II.   It is believed that this is the only memorial of its type in Europe. The U.S. Memorial Wereth  is a non profit association founded by private citizens, all volunteers, with a goal to sustain a permanent memorial to honor and remember these men. The memorial is located in Wereth, Belgium, which is a tiny hamlet in Eastern Belgium, on the site of the murders.
