The Grave of Erwin Meierdrees


A photo depicting Kurt Söhrmann (center), Kurt Arp and one other former soldier of Erwin Meierdrees,'s battalion at the grave of their former commander in Vienna, in the early 2000s or late 90s. It is interesting to note that while Meierdrees was initially buried next to the famed pilot Walter Nowotny (KIA 8 November 1944 while flying the Me-262 at Achmer, with General der Jagdflieger Adolf Galland present), he was later moved to a different location in the cemetery, for unknown reason.
