Tannenberg Memorial, War memorial ruins in Sudwa, Poland
Eight concrete towers formed an octagonal structure that measured 20 meters in height and contained ceremonial halls for military commemorations.
The German army constructed this memorial between 1924 and 1927 to mark their victory at the Battle of Tannenberg in World War I.
The memorial served as the final resting place for Field Marshal Paul von Hindenburg and his wife until their remains were relocated in 1945.
Visitors can locate the memorial ruins at coordinates 53.58129185 latitude and 20.260753053143063 longitude, near several war cemeteries.
The German forces deliberately destroyed the memorial in January 1945 to prevent its capture by advancing Soviet troops during World War II.
