This is so fascinating , yet sad that these guys didn’t receive a burial by their families. Someone in the comments mentioned all the bodies left on the battlefields who were never found. It reminds me of a friend in Georgia who let someone take a metal detector in her backyard and it ended up becoming an archeological dig. They found remains and arrowheads, musket balls etc back there. Her house sat on a skirmish site that went back to the colonial times and she feels there are more bodies due to all the paranormal activities she’s experienced since she was a kid

It's hard to imagine the desperation these soldiers must have felt. To have been that cold, that hungry and that tired all the while fighting a very well equipped and trained army is unimaginable.

Absolutely Amazing that something that's been in the ground for so long and farmed on top of as well for many years now, that these artifacts are still in many cases intact and legible in some cases of their dates and ordinance numbers. This blows my mind that even something as simple as a stamped steel helmet can survive the time underground in the worst of circumstances for anything man made. The great work you've been doing to bring back these soldiers to their homelands and possibly giving these families closure to their lost loved ones is a priceless endeavor. Keep bringing them home guys and be safe out there. 🙏👍

Mg 34* my friend, and id like to add that both the 34 and 42 were produced and used side by side extensively till the end of the war.. The 42 was much more cheaper and simpler to produce than the rather complex mg34. The MG34 started production in 1935 through 1945 and they made over half a million of em where as the 42 only had 3 years of production and had just under half a million made. Just shows how much the 42 was an improvement to mass production..

The MG 42 has been considered by many an expert as probably the best machine gun ever produced. The USA M60 and the British GPMG are considered to modelled on the design of the ‘42.

@@jazzybass41 No doubt it was a gamechanger. It was unbeatable as a zonal cover weapon. If set up in groups of 3 or 4 nests its high rate of fire laid out a virtual wall of death.Of course the downside is you need a lot of ammo. It was also not as accurate as its British and US counterparts.

Check out Dr. Mark Feltons KZread page. He has a couple short documentaries dealing with that. In one case the bad guys won. About 6 mid level SS officers disappeared around the first week of May 1945 and along what is valued today at about 700 million dollars in gold, silver and foreign currency/exchange notes disappeared with them.
