I go to Normandy most years and this year I was passing Liseux so I visited the German War Cemetary there. I've been to quite a few German War Cemetary's but this is one of the few where I have noticed so many SS ranks on the gravestones. Looking at the ages on the gravestones I'm presuming most were Hitler Jugend 12th SS. I've attached this pic as I thought GruppenFuhr was a general rank, but I doubt it as the guy was only 19? Reinhold Kirsch?

Boy did they mess that one up , I would assume that they meant "ROTTENFUHRER" however if the soldat had a wife , Im sure she did not complain if she recieved a Generals pension from the government.
