This event is organized as part of the month of memory on the territory of the municipalities of Uffried (Roeschwoog, Leutenheim, Forstfeld, Kauffenheim, Neuhausel, Fort-Louis) to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the incorporation of strength of young people from Alsace and Moselle (exhibitions, conferences, inaugurations, organized visits).
The decree of the Gauleiter Wagner (the administrator of Alsace during the Nazi era) was promulgated on August 25, 1942 and established compulsory military service in the German army for young men.
It is therefore the 80th anniversary that is to be commemorated.
