French Memorial at Mooserkreuz St. Anton

The 2nd Moroccan Infantry Division reached St. Anton via Oberstdorf and Warth on 6.5.1945. The next day, the 5th Panzer Division and the 4th Moroccan Mountain Division arrived, having advanced through Bregenz and Bludenz. To commemorate the meeting of the three divisions of the 1st Army on 7.5.1945, the French Military Government inaugurated a provisional monument with an inscription made of wooden letters near the Mooserkreuz on 5.5.1946. The inauguration ceremony was attended by the top ranks of the French Military Government and Army, as well as the state governors of Tyrol and Vorarlberg. After its completion, the victory monument was unveiled on 31.7.1947. It takes the form of a stone block, marking like a boundary stone the meeting point of the three divisions. On all four sides, the Lothringerkreuz can be seen, which the Free French Forces carried on their flag.
