This memorial was erected in memory of the 17,000 dead from Alsace and Moselle, forcibly incorporated into the Wehrmacht or other German military formations by the occupier during the annexation of our eastern provinces to the Third Reich from 1940 to 1945, abandoned by the Vichy government, in defiance of all legality. These victims were young men and women born between 1906 and 1928, mobilized from October 16, 1942, to January 12, 1945, under threat of family deportation in the event of desertion. Consumed in the Red Army in 1943, as "escapees" or as "unwilling" Wehrmacht prisoners of war, they were dragged from camp to camp, immediately converted into "underfed forced laborers." A large number of them were gathered very early on at the sinister Tambow camp, known as the "French camp" due to the size of the French Community at certain times. Tyranny, malnutrition, arbitrary punishments, excessive workload, deteriorating collective morale, epidemics, the harsh climate, inadequate clothing, overcrowding, and poor hygiene—all these factors quickly took their toll on the captive population. The loss of life at the Tambow camp is estimated at approximately 50 to 60 percent. Between 1944 and 1945, 68,000 prisoners of war of all nationalities passed through, among whom the "French contingent" was the most exploited. Few endured this regime of psychological persecution, meager rations, and forced labor for which they were ill-suited. Almost all survivors reported incurable after-effects. Six Lazarets and two rudimentary "Hospitals," antechambers of death, delivered their cargo of corpses every night, early in the morning, then dumped pell-mell into the mass graves dug by their comrades in the forest around the camp. This memorial is intended to be a place of contemplation and reflection in tribute to the dead who perished needlessly, sacrificing their young lives without reproach, knowing that their remains would never be repatriated. Most were delivered to the inhospitable Russian land, in complete anonymity. Thousands of families thus lost all trace of their sons, their husbands, their fathers who died neither for Germany nor for Russia, but in the fervent expectation and hope of returning to France, their homeland." The survivors of these Russian camps, originally from Alsace and Moselle, have devoutly preserved the memory of these dark hours and of their abandoned comrades, whom they consider "Martyrs." Don't forget them!
