Hi,
Does anyone know what this monument is or its significance?
It seems to be associated to the Freikorps document as the monument appear to be the same.
Thank You for any help given.

Looking for all relevant info & items on the Monsun U-boats in Singapore and Asia for my research.

Re: What is this monument and its significance?
I assume that this monument celebrated the Battle of the Teutoburg Forest in 9 A.D. where Arminius (Hermann) managed to ambush and destroy three Roman legions under the command of Publius Quinctilius Varus?
Amazing how this one battle became such a symbol of German nationalism, considering that the Romans, before and after this battle, regularly destroyed barbarian German armies for centuries....
