WWII Tombstones With Swastikas Removed From Texas Cemetery
Published 1 day ago on December 27, 2020
By Elizabeth Elizalde

Two German WWII tombstones at a Texas veterans cemetery — each bearing N**i swastikas — have been removed and replaced with new ones that do not use the symbol.

The 1943 gravestones belonging to German prisoners of war Alfred Kafka and Georg Forst at Fort Sam Houston National Cemetery featured an Iron Cross with a swastika in the middle, and the phrase, “He died far from his home for the Leader (Führer), people and fatherland.”

Cemetary workers removed the stones on Wednesday.

“Clearly, it took a long time for this to happen, and it’s obviously the right thing to have been done,” said Michael Weinstein, founder and president of the Military Religious Freedom Foundation.

The foundation previously demanded Veterans Affairs Secretary Robert Wilkie remove the tombstones, but the agency refused and argued they had a historical meaning.

A third grave that also features N**i symbol is located in Fort Douglas Post Cemetery in Utah but it’s unclear if it’s been removed.

I would think that the first option should be to return their remains to Germany. The Swastika and Iron Cross are not religious symbols but political and that might be just. Some wording about dying while fighting for Germany against America in 19xx.

Glad to see the Ministry of T***h is actively doing its part to emulate the statue topplers of ‘The Brave New’ America.

I agree. The only problem I have, the symbol is closely related to Satanism, and it goes way way back in history. That was the reason the N**i's used it. Hitler sent people around the globe searching for the Spear of Destiny that was thrust into Jesus on the cross.

Pretty good evidence Hitler and Dr. Mangela escaped to South America. I think Gregory Peck played him in a movie called The Boys From Brazil I think. One place he was supposed to have lived had a lot of twins born. Even Merkel was accused of being a daughter of Hitler.

And I've read most of the brownshirts were gay and p*******es. Not all N**is were sick puppies, but the SS was deeply into all that stuff. They enjoyed k*****g people and they snatched a lot of children who looked like ideal Germans and took them back to Germany and gave them to German families after k*****g their parents and torching their homes. They were also working on the atomic bomb and flying saucers.

Admiral Byrd, after the war, took a task force to Antarctica and was attacked by flying saucers. He was quietly declared ill, sent to an insane asylum, and then jump or was tossed out the window. The CIA was already sneaking the N**is into the USA and began installing them in the CIA, Intel, NASA, and other key positions in our government. There were a lot of German sympathizers in the US before, during, and after WWII. No telling how much damage they have done. But evil people always seem to find one another and cover for one another. Lots of kinky stuff and people were allowed into the US. Today they are the offspring of the N**is allowed in. They never forgave us kicking their butts. I think their grandchildren are the t*****rs inside our nation today.

Didn't mean to run on that much. But I used to be a big fan of Coast to Coast. And that always led me to read about weird stuff most of my life. Now a lot of it seems to be coming together, for some reason. Still missing too many pieces of the puzzle.

But not worthy of being buried in an American Veterans' cemetery; with or without a swastika on their headstone.

Removed??? I assume they will be cleaned and returned, or replaced.

I don't think the tombstones would have been returned to Germany with their remains. Germany wouldn't allow anything with a swastika on it to be displayed, even in cemeteries.

Just the remains should have been returned...

But I have no problem with honoring N**i soldiers.. They weren't cowards and fought hard for their Nation...
