Memorial is dedicated to
the three American airmen that lost their lives in 1943, when
an American bomber was shot down over Martinje village in
Prekmurje, Slovenia. Memorial is conceived as a landscape
image, a hill figure of white wings on a gentle slope above
Martinje, turning to the sky. Behind it, a marked path leads
to Srebrni breg (Silver Hill), the highest top in Prekmurje.
Memorial is supplemented by a descriptive column near the
road, made of concrete and weathering steel, commemorating
the event. |
