He looked to his side and he saw a weird shape covered in branches and weeds and stuff, he investigated further and began breaking up all of the weeds and it turns out it was a German soldier. Still had his weapon, helmet, everything but most of his clothing had rotted away except for some strips here and there and his boots. Apparently its not uncommon in Poland to find even whole tanks and artillery pieces and stuff like that in the woods, just left there from WWII.

This is incredibly important work. Not only are you uncovering hidden & lost history but you are doing a great service to the fallen soldiers & their families. When we see documentsry shows on WW2, they often aggrandize the patriotism, duty & honor of the soldiers who fought. That’s how we cope with trauma. We couldn’t function or deal with history if we solely focused on the sacrifices, casualties & harsh realities of wars. So while we cover the sobering awfulness of the reslity of combat we also sanitize it by omitting or ignoring. It’s not a bad thing. We don’t go through our day thinking about all the awful things happening in the world. Excavations like this are a stark reminder on the harshness & brutality of war. When you look at WW2 casualties & see the millions of KIA & MIA, it is mind boggling. Any casualties are harsh but due to mass media any casualties seem egregious. Look at our wars in Iraq & Afghanistan. There were a lotnof casualties. However, compare it to the military & civilians casualties on D-Day. Put this into perspective. In Iraq according the WikiP, there were almodt 5,000 US service membeer casualties from 2001 until present day. That’s over 20 years. This is not to trivialize any of the casualties. On June 6, 1944 during the Normandy landings there were 4,414 combined Allied casualties on that single day alone. That is insane. The magnitude & scale of WW2 was horrific. Anyways, I am a huge history & military history fan. One day, I’d love to own some real militaria. Seeing artifacts in a museum is incredible but being able to own a relic from WW2 for example is amazing. I’d love to have a Luger or Waffen-SS dagger. I presume a huge motivating factor for you guys is not only the chase & discovering lost treasures of the war which helps you get through the hard work & weather, but being able to honor the fallen is truly a great service. It is sobering seeing the fallen remains of soldiers. Some 70-75 years ago these were young men doing their duty never to return home. You wonder who they were. What happened. For decades they were lost but now they can be returned home hopefully to family. That is no small thing. It must be moving & sobering making these discoveries. Anyways, thanks for your hard work & videos. You can tell how passionate all you guys are on the subject. I am sure the families of the missing in action are grateful that their loved ones can be returned home & interred with dignity & respect now instead of just being lost on some old battlefield.

I've read a few books written by German WW2 veterans. It brought a lot into perspective for me. Not every soldier joined the Nazi party but many people still label them all as such. They were expected to fight. Many young men were executed for trying to run from being drafted into the army near the end. Its heartbreaking. The crap that Hitler was screaming at those political rallies isn't much different from what we hear from politicians today. There are little Hitlers out there with different agendas that can convince groups of people to kill others for them. Charles Mason for example, there are more. The majority of the army was to busy fighting and dying for their country to notice what started to happen at those camps. Its not like they all knew from the start and had that goal in mind. No one had cellphones to text their son who's fighting in the eastern or western front to keep them updated . And that's if they weren't dead from the airplane bombings, lots of civilians died that way too. The Allies weren't all valiant men like the movies show. Most grandpa's don't speak of their experiences for a reason, it wasn't all just killing the bad guys and watching your friends fall. War is just horrible, period. Its barbaric. Yet its those in government that start it and then send your children to be slaughtered. Those fallen Germans soldiers deserve to be remembered, anyone that shames that should learn beyond what American/Canadian/British schools (Russian too probably) have taught. That whole saying, history is written by the victor. Its true.

Excellent work. I'm a retired forensics expert. Those parallel, equal length gashes atop the helmet appear to be multiple edged weapon blows as the cause of death. Likely an axe (wish you'd taken his helmet off and examined the cranium). I developed a theory that he was wounded, and then finished off with overhead swings of a weighted object with sharpened edge (axe?). I see a probable shrapnel hole in the left ilium of the pelvis suggesting he was wounded. The guy was exceptionally bucktoothed. The artillery ammo and the binoculars suggest he was in the artillery. That his ID tag lower was uncollected suggests an enemy burial, but I'm surprised that he'd be buried with a quality Zeiss 6-30 binocular and that no one took his watch.

Sorry to you. Sorry to the family. God of course has his system of justice to haves and have nots. Remember Lazarus had nothing and Dives had all comfort in the world.. Abraham told him you enjoyed everything and Lazarus nothing, but now he is comforted. Also in the beatitudes. If I and and us all can get over this sense of all the problems in the world and politics and the elections, live for today and strive for eternity. that is the way to be, and to have peace.

I used to use my metal detector while I was in Germany back in 1989-1991 with the US Army. I found live ammo numerous times and eventually got banned from the military because they said I was taxing their services. Every time I found a grenade or mortar round they had to secure the area until the demo team could remove it. I went to the black forest and searched around the fox holes that were there. You can still see the depressions and the outlines. Didn't find any bodies but did find some gear.

Thank you for the video guys! Really enjoyed it and it rekindled my fascination with WWII. I am a 64yo Pole living in Australia. Few years ago it was my dream to go to Poland, buy a metal detector and do what these guys did. Sadly, the new law makes it a criminal offense to look for and excavate old WWII relics. I remember in the late 60s while going on scouting excursions with my uncle, we had our camp in a forest near the Baltic Sea and there were lots of old WWII helmets, shells, boots etc. on the surface still. No digging necessary! At the entrance to our tent we were tripping over something that we thought was a tree root, but turned out to be unexploded artillery shell... Sappers were called and the shell was removed. The camp was cancelled after that, it was just too dangerous.

It’s amazing to stare history In the face like this, you can almost picture him alive sitting there, absolutely amazing.

I commend the work that this group is doing in the recovery of lost soldiers. However, I think it would be more beneficial to have skilled archaeologists on hand after a site has been located.

These are not archaeological excavations. The main task of the searchers is to find a death badge (from the enemy) or a container with a note (from a Russian soldier) for identification, as well as to collect and rebury the remains in the cemetery.

So Brilliant! The skill and patience you have is a credit to you!

If you find a complete dog tag it means that this soldier was at best reported as missing and his fate remained unknown until now, unless someone else witnessed his death and lived to tell. The Wehrmacht dog tags were made to be split in two whenever there was time to do it; one half remained with the body and the other identical half was carried away to be reported as a casualty. Of course, many many times this was impossible to do or the soldier carrying the dog tag half was also killed, and the end result was a complete muddle in body identification. It could hardly be otherwise. The wealthy American Army opted by using two separate Dog Tags, and the Soviet WW II Army used the worse method of all: a strip of paper inside a Bakelite tube hanging from the neck, as most of you know. Nowadays, every time you try to unwind the strip it has totally decayed and disintegrates. We in the Portuguese Army used a round dog tag very similar to the Wehrmacht model. I had a Girlfriend who used one who had belonged to her former late boyfriend. (he died from cancer, not in combat, although one day his truck hit an anti tank mine and he spent several hours trapped underneath and surrounded by bodies) And she just kept wearing it, wether I liked or not... 💀

Came here to see a full fallen soldier skeleton intact..........This did not disappoint. Fantastic job on the excavation.

Ainda hoje tenho preocupações com as decisões que alguns lideres mundiais tem tomado. Espero que o Conflito entre a Rússia e Ucrânia e em outras partes do mundo chegue ao fim. A todos um forte abraço e parabenizo toda essa equipe que trabalha nessas escavações e contribuem com nossas reflexões .

Judging by the spark-plug found in his pocket and the fact that the soldier looks to have been quite tall, most likely Flemish (based on his watch), he could have been a vehicle driver, which might explain why he was wearing a shoe on one foot and a boot on the other. Being tall, it would have been very unconfortable in the footwell, especially over long periods of time. Either that, or some sort of injury to his ankle that was not serious enough for him to leave the war.

Congratulations for the great job of finding and digging the remains out, but especially for treating them with dignity. So interesting, hopefully their descendants are notified of the finding. Thank you for sharing this.

I'm a medical doctor with a master's degree in anthropology and forensic facial reconstruction, and that skull could easily be reconstructed. He has complete dental arches, and that is the basis for a successful reconstruction. Doing a good job it would be possible to know with relative ease, what that soldier was like. I have reconstructed six skulls with a successful approximation in five of them.

I think the solider had a dislocated leg and broken pelvis on his right side! When you compare the skeletons right trochanter to the left trochanter, you can see that the left trochanter is visible while the right is not. The trochanter could have broken off over the years, or the trochanter was rotated underneath, suggesting that the ball joint was rotated unnaturally in the hip joint and dislocation occurred. The ball joint on the right side is also protruding out of the hip joint socket, where as compared to the the left, the ball joint is still in the socket. The right side pelvis is also displaced compared to the left side. And, If you look at the feet/boots on the solider, the right leg is rotated unnaturally compared to the left!

Total War: Rome :)

I was in The Netherlands living and had the opportunity to go into the Aachen area and into the Hurtgen Forrest in many occasions between 1999-2004 with the Boy Scouts. A US Army NCO assigned to the Dutch NCO Academy and even sometimes a US General from NATO would visit our Boy Scouts. We went to a lot of places, the the first visit was to the Bunkers. We were where the US Army encountered the Siegfried Line the night before the massive German Ardennes offensive AKA the Battle of the Buldge. This particular some months after our visit was able to locate the remains of two or three American GIs remains about 50 feet from the bunkers - the Americans never knew what hit them. I has seen so much ammo, genades, broken weapons, helments and eating utensils from both German and American soldiers. There is so much history waiting to be uncovered on private lands in Belguim and Germany. The German Cemetary was tended to by the final remaining soldier of his division, maybe the German 77 Infantry... Two soldiers buried together so that they not spend eternity alone, was the phrase that struck me, as this was how the soldiers were burried, by two's. We visited the the Kall Trail running along a deep river ravine, and our American NCO Guide showed us the remains of the American Medical Station dugout into the side of the hill on the trail. We had diary's of soldiers that fought in all the battles, but the Kall Trail was one where the Germans and US Medicals paired together with strechers to recovery the wounded, then the dead. We saw pictures of US Soldiers laid on the trail, especially the dead was haunting while standing along side the very trail looking at the places. Bunkers the US Army never breached in the Hertgen Forrest where wounded Germans soldiers were chained to maching guns by the SS fighting desperatelly to hold the lines with wounded soldiers, soldiers with amputated hands as asst machinge gunners. The diary of the German medic over the weeks with medical supplies, morphine, food, etc. Yet the Germans kept those positions to the end of the war. In the Battle of the Bulge area we found some bodies with weapons and it was a dark scene for the Boy Scouts, but exciting at the same time. Finding live generades or mortar rounds met stop and don't touch, whether on the beaches of Normandy or on the other adventures. I was retired from the US Army and served over half my 20-years in the 82d Abn Div. I took my two boys to every battle sight and all the parachute landings of US and British soldiers.

this is truly fascinating, to do this as a job would be awesome. constantly digging up history, the biggest event in the 20th Century WW2.

Bless you all for looking for fallen soldiers from WW2. Very touching, emotional to see a Wehrmacht soldier lying where he had fallen so long ago. Just pray he did not suffer and so sad that only now are people searching for bodies and omg how m many hundreds or thousands to a million German soldiers were killed on the Eastern front or died from being frozen. It must be a very humbling feeling to discover something like this. Bless this soldier, he has been discovered and hopefully some of his family are still alive and hopefully he can have a decent burial. He was someone’s, husband/lover/ son........who had been fighting for his country and who had died alone, no comfort. Truly so sad what all the soldiers went through no matter who they were. They just wanted the war to end and go home. Salute and Respect and may his Soul and that of other RIP

They were talking about how these guys were Westland Regiment (panzergrenadiers), Viking SS division, they thought the first guy was probably a machine gunner (but I think he was a Gun No 2 because the Gun No 2 usually carries the most ammo and this guy had a lot of ammo - which would have weighed a ton, so he would have been a big man), then they were talking about the glasses and the shoe/boot on the second body and commenting about how a farmer's tractor had damaged the second body's helmet - probably a very long time ago when the hole was less filled in. Im a bit dubious about that - the first guy had a big shrapnel hole in the back of his helment so I think that might have been the same on the second helmet, although the second guy was sitting up higher than the first guy.

You look at a sparkplug that a german soldier was carrying in WWII and it really makes you think "Wow, spark plugs have not changed much since then..."

Danke für eure Arbeit mit ausführlichen Bericht

RIP Soldier ... You gave higest sacrifice in your line of duty.... Salute... Dont know how long did your family wait for you its been 80 years now..

man these soldiers still sit in the Trenches as if they never left keeping an eye out, like this guy here 13:56 as if he's waiting for the shelling to stop to Advance, just my imagination running wild.

Afterall these soldiers are children of someone whose mothers are waiting for them to come home... Most of them are also someone's brother, father and husband... It is so heart-breaking that they came to this world only for this.......😟

So glad these guys families can get some closure on what happened to their family members. The only issue I have is I wish professional archeologists could have worked these sites and document the finds they way pros do. Great work all the same!!

These guys are professionals. Or theyre led by professionals anyway - I guess they have a lot of work doing this. Just watch their other videos and you'll see.

So very well done guys, finding these lost souls and possibly identifying them for whatever family remain, thank you for your care and patience, great documentary.

Serious question: what would have happened if we had massively attacked England instead of the really stupid "Operation Barbarossa"? we would have beaten the tea drinkers very quickly. we previously defeated the strongest army in the world in 6 weeks. do you really believe that even one american solider would have set foot on this continent afterwards?

Wow, that is so amazing. You always see war movies with German soldiers being killed, or real black and white footage from back then, but this is getting closer to the soldiers who really fought. Thanks for piecing together world history

My grandfather was in WW2 American,He use to say how poorly the German soldiers were treated after they died,just left to rot where they fell,he said even though they were the enemy you couldn't help but feel sorry for them,they gave their life for what they thought was right and then get no honor after

When your getting pushed back so fast there is little you can do.

Up until about 15 years ago, skeletal remains were still being found at Little Big Horn "battle" site in USA. The fight happened in 1876
