Inscription on the German soldier's tombstone (quoted from Heinrich Lersch's poem The Soldier's Farewell): Nun lebt wohl! Menschen, lebet wohl! Und wenn wir für euch und unsere Zukunft fallen, soll als letzter Gruss zu euch hinüberhallen: Nun lebt wohl, ihr Menschen, lebet wohl! Ein freier Deutscher kennt kein kaltes Müssen: Deutschland muss leben, und wenn wir sterben müssen! Farewell, my friends, farewell! And if we are to die for ourselves and the future, our last farewell should be: Farewell, my friends, farewell! A free German knows not the coldness of obligation, Germany must live, even if we ourselves die! Für Großdeutschland * fiel vor Warschau Hermann Schneider 18. 5. 1919 21. 9. 1939 Er ruht bei feinen Kameraden, fein Geist ist um uns! He fell for the sake of great Germany just off Warsaw He rests surrounded by dear friends, gentle spirit sourounds us!
