A Virtual Tour of the
Schlossberg CastleFor the men of I/276, the Schlossberg Castle at Forbach
will forever be etched in their memory. Under German counter-attack,
the Company commander ordered mortars to be fired on their position.
They did and the German counter-attack was broken up. (See

Chuck Segars, Capt. USA Signal Corps, found out his
grandfather-in-law, James Stephens, served with I/276 and was at the
castle. Stationed in Europe, Chuck and his wife went to Forbach and
took these pictures of the castle.
