Certainly it is necessary to be cautious, in fact shells and bombs can blow up, but I am able to address with them I served in army two years as the sapper and I know about the device of an ammunition much

Awesome! I can't imagine going out with my detector and finding a TANK! Thank God, we never have had a war on our land that involved tanks and heavy artillery as such and hopefully we never will, but it is so neat to see those pieces of equipment you're finding! My grandfather fought in WWII and brought back some interesting and repulsing pictures. What a massive conflict it was, and a scar on humanity as well.

Thank you for showing us your pictures. I'll be watching for more!

WOW. Those have got to be the greatest finds I have ever seen. I was gonna say that was an Airacobra data plate. Wasnt sure on the cyclone engine tag. That Brewster...wow. Over here in the US, someone would buy that and restore it. The tanks are in very impressive condition. We have a military vehicle museum in my town here, and they would love to work on some of those. Keep up the good work. DM

[The Beep Goes On]

Man...that is some cool stuff! Thanks for the pics, truly awesome! Makes me want to take a detecting trip to Russia...

I'm not sure what all my grandfather participated in.? He was in the army Rangers, and performed recon missions.? He was in nurrenburgh (spelling?) and other places in Germany, and saw the massive body pits that weren't even covered with dirt enough to cover the peoples' arms and legs.?

He didn't like to talk about it, and I never heard his stories.? It wasn't until after he died that I found out he was in recon, and that he was highly decorated with some of the highest awards and medals you can get from our government.? I wish I could have heard his stories, but I understand how difficult it must have been to talk about for him.? Especially after seeing his journal and the pictures contained within.? They don't show pictures like that in history class.? People should see what happened, lest they forget and allow history to repeat itself.

Did you know they used skin from the Jew's bodies to make lampshades, wallets, and wallhangings? Especially if they had tattoos. And then they would set this stuff up on tables and people who appeared to be everyday families would walk past the tables shopping for the piece they liked. Twisted, huh? ("twisted" referring to a largely distorted mentality , in case you're not familiar with the term).

Thanks for the respect for my Grandfather.

CHEESE, i think you may be mistaken on the skin items. I'm no expert, but i think it was one woman (ilsa Koch) who was known for the tattooed skin items. not an organized project. As I recall she would single out people with tattoos, and not just jews, to make the different items, which she kept for her own collection. I believe she was known as "the witch of Buchenwald". The lampshade itself has never been found (and most likely an exaggeration) but there are many other items made from human skin from Buchenwald. (some can be found on display in Washington DC)

 

[cheese]

I saw it in black and white. I think my grandfather took the pics because he couldn't believe what he was seeing. Anyway, that's way off track. Sorry I added the "weird" to the thread, lol. It just made such an impression on me I guess, that whenever I think of WWII, those are the images that immediately pop in my head.

 

[Aerosmithy]

Wow you are an awsome treasure/WW2 hunter i wish i could find tanks and planes here in America

 

[pgill]

Your pictures really tell a story that I did not know. If you are still finding these bodies, I would imagine that there must be thousands that have not been buried yet. Does the goverment look for these sites like you have, and bury the dead?
