The Department of Veterans Affairs is to
begin the process to remove grave headstones of World War Two German prisoners
of war that display swastikas and markings related to the Nazi regime. The VA
said Monday in a statement that it has decided to replace the headstones on
gravesites of three German POWs. Two are located at Fort Sam Houston National
Cemetery in San Antonio, Texas, and one is at Fort Douglas Post Cemetery in
Salt Lake City, Utah.
One of the headstones shows that a prisoner
was awarded the Iron Cross, a German military decoration for valor. The other
two show a modified Iron Cross, which depicts a swastika within a cross.
By including a non-nuclear attack as a
possible trigger for Russian nuclear retaliation, the document appears to send
a warning signal to the US.
