Another photograph of German paratrooper graves near the Tweede Tol. These are the same graves as in photo 22. Several names are still clearly legible. From right to left: – Oberjäger Arthur Schwarz of 4./FJR 1, who was likely killed while serving in patrols and outposts sent towards the Kil to secure the area. Oberjäger Schwarz was killed on 10 May 1940 at the age of 21. – Unteroffizier Albert Fürstenberg, part of 7./FJR 1 (medical half‑company). He was severely wounded by an abdominal gunshot on 10 May 1940 near the Zeedijk and died from his injuries at the age of 23. In this photograph he is listed as Oberjäger. – Oberjäger Heinz Morawietz, killed at the age of 22 during the capture of the barracks camp at the Tweede Tol. The names on the remaining four graves are unfortunately no longer readable. They may be some of the Oberjägers who were killed at Amstelwijck. The grave next to that of Oberjäger Morawietz appears to be the grave of Oberjäger Josef Geiersberger, who was killed at Amstelwijck.[^1]
