cemetery established in 1822 for Protestant residents of the Faubourg St. Mary in predominantly CatholicNew Orleans, Louisiana. It consisted of 2,319 wall vaults and approximately 1,100 tombs. Girod Cemetery was laid out along a central artery with side aisles, and was noted for its so-called "society tombs," which could rise seven or eight tiers above ground.
The Girod Cemetery was the hiding place for the weapons that had been shipped in by NaziGermany for the Reb's uprising during World War II in August of 1942. Neil Michaels and the FBS along with the US Army descended upon the cemetery with bulldozers, and tanks, and began opening up the tombs much to the horror and dismay to the locals. The search looked like a wild goose chase until in the centre of the cemetery, a tank crew found a hidden stash of weapons.
