Mur des Federes division 76

Remembering those communards who were lined up against the wall on the left, and summarily shot on May 28, 1871. Their bodies were thrown in a trench located beneath the feet of the group facing the camera.

Hi, I work at Friedhof der Märzgefallenen in Berlin, a cemetery for the fallen of the Revolutions of 1848 and 1918. We would like to use a picture of the postcard for a digital exhibition about other memory sites in Europe.
My contact is: lange@paulsinger.de

Kind Regards,

Dietmar Lange
