Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire This Is Unreal! WWII Remains and Artifacts

Doesn't look like a fun place to be.

Interesting to see how they were left...

How is that first Luger in that good of shape?!

Also, why does that first ammo belt look like it contains blanks?

interesting archeology

Wow, some incredible finds. That is strange looking ammo - long, straight walled, rimmed with a tracer type projectile. Wonder if they will do any DNA tracing attempts.

Thinking that may be 7.62x38 Nagant. Rims look big though??

Their "anti-tank gun" looks a lot like the receiver/magwell from a Mosin Nagant as well.

That is one weird, strange-ass web site. Pretty [bleep] creepy rockinbbar.

Very cool website.

I found it when that thread was linked elsewhere as well.

Looked around some, but didn't get too far. Don't think I want to either. Seen enough beheadings for awhile. It's good that folks can see reality though. It seldom fits into their perception of what the world really is.

Archaeologist son was telling me all about these types in Europe. Dunno how much of the posters "Facts" are true, but this stuff is big business in Russia. It receives their mark of legitimacy by stating they are trying to repatriate remains and give closure to families by recovering dog tags, ID's etc. However the dark side to this is all the recovered relics go straight to places like eBay.

They are not real archaeologist, but just guys out relic hunting. The German govt does employ real archaeologist but these aren't the guys!!! This is not the way you go thru such an area. If you want to see real archaeologist excavating, look up the WWI German remains they found in the collapsed dugout in eastern France several years ago. Awesome find. I think someone posted a link here. Believe the site was in either the Vosges area or Alsace.

Yeah, it looks like these guys are out for profit, but when they found the remains, it changed the game for them a bit.

Did some archaeology work in my younger years to learn more about excavating Indian sites.

The original link to the WW ll pictures was interesting. I should have just quit there.....

Looked around at the website for a VERY short while. What a gruesome and sick bunch!

From a short lookover, it seems to be a group of folks who like to look at death, dead people, terminal accidents and crap like that.

Extra Icky

The rest of the stuff on that site is pretty weird.

It takes a certain POS, like Gayem.

has to do with the amount of oxygen where it was sitting.....if it was in a chunk of ground with low O2, even in water it wont rust as you also need oxygen for rust to form which is why there are some wonderfully preserved wrecks in deep freshwater lakes in low oxygen zones



prolly this beast:



unfortunately i cant find a pic without a stock to compare and most my reference books are still boxed up at my brothers

What's your problem little dicky autistic? I thought the finds of those artifacts very interesting.

As far as dead bodies, I see em almost every day I did scroll through sone of the other threads and found some of the information interesting. Specifically the autopsy findings of the Miami cannibal were a good read

Just as you probably find kiddy porn "entertaining"

i am one of those artifact people, but in the southwest it is stuff from former military outposts, calvary etc. But being a military history collector, i have been on many of these websites.
finding intact stuka's in the forest in russia, tanks driven into the elbe river, some of this stuff is either still workable or is restorable.
As to the bodies, generally the people really interested in this stuff treat them respectfully. And they are repatriated to military cemetaries. They found an american a few years ago propped up against a tree in the ardennes. Identifying him for the family moved him from mia to kia.
There was a warehouse in poland i believe with stacked bones from the germans after the war, nobody knew what to do with them. Possibly they were later repatriated.
it gets bad at times, i remember a few years ago stacks of eyeglasses from japanese on okinawa found in the caves being sold.

Finding bodies while out looking for artifacts is one thing. Seeing death as a part of one's job is also an unfortunate by product of certain very honorable proffessions. My brother in law is a Sergeant with the local PD and he shares some stories about such with me. Two of my best freinds are fire Dept first responders and my wife has worked in a couple of Nursing homes, the same kind of deal. HOWEVER, a site that seemingly celebrates photos and stories of death including suicides and gore and which has lengthy chats about death and gore and seemingly celebrating such is waaaaaaay wierd.

Must have been a fight!
