Monument for German participation in Korean War

In June 2018, Germany was recognized as a participating nation in the Korean War for its decision in 1953 ― while the war still raged ― to send medical staff to support U.N. forces in South Korea with a field hospital that was set up in 1954 after the ceasefire agreement had been reached.
