Americans return banner looted in Germany

According to the foundation, the battalion was commissioned in 1929 by the Wiescherhöfen Volunteer Fire Brigade to commemorate its founding in 1909. After the bombing of the village in April 1944, the battalion was presumed lost. After the end of the war, Wiescherhöfen found itself in the British occupation zone.

German flag in the USA Fire Museum

According to the Monuments Men and Women Foundation, it is not clear how it came to the British antiques dealer who donated it to the Fire Museum in Phoenix, Arizona. A reproduction of the missing banner was made in 2013 and was reported as missing in the Lost Art Database. The banner was found thanks to a post published on social networks.

The banner was returned to its owners by the Fire Museum. The ceremony, which took place at the German Embassy in Washington, was attended by, among others, representatives of the foundation, the fire museum and the fire department in Hamm-Wiescherhöfen, Germany, and the FBI agency.

– The fact that the banner of our ancestors, lost for 80 years, stands before us today is bordering on a miracle, said Guido Krämer from the Hamm-Wiescherhöfen fire department during the ceremony.

He falls with a paraglider on the runway and crashes into a tree: the victim is a 45-year-old from Verona – Pusteria Gardena Badia

BRUNICO. He died instantly in a tragic, horrific crash into a tree on the side of the Sylvester slope, in the Plan de Corones area. Rescuers were unable to resuscitate Roberto Simonazzi, 45 years old, native of Parma but living in Brenzone (Province of Verona), victim of a terrible and sudden accident yesterday, November 1, at around 2.30 p.m. He was the president of the famous Kiteclub of Malcesine.

He flew his small and highly efficient glider, the speed glider, a discipline that was born from paragliding and improved some of its characteristics, for example he used a particularly flexible glider that allows you to quickly cover large differences in height, descending the slopes of steep mountains .

Simonazzi lost the ideal flight path and did not recover it. Three friends who were with him raised the alarm. When they arrived, people from the Brunico Mountain Rescue Service and the financial police, emergency medical personnel tried everything to resuscitate him, but the attempts became desperate to the point of giving up.

The sports square acquired a playground for small children

Click and hear the news

GOVERNOR VALADARESS – The sports square now has a new space aimed exclusively at children aged two to five. Until then, the only playground on site was for children and adolescents from 3 to 12 years old. The new equipment provides more safety for the little ones and more peace of mind for the parents.

Natalia Ribeiro, a nanny who often visits the park with the children she cares for, praised the structure. “The other playground made us a bit dangerous because the toy side was open and we couldn’t climb up to help the kids. Being smaller, she was often afraid. This new playground is great because we can help the children, and since it is under the tree there is shade and the plastic does not heat up”, he commented.

Helnatã Campos, father of little Valentina, two years old, also emphasized the safety of the new toys. “Before, there was only room here for older children. Now this new playground offers options for young children. Since the other toy has no protection, we didn’t have the security to let them play,” said the father.

CEU das Artes, in the Santa Efigênia district, will also get a playground suitable for children aged two to five.
