Eastern Front Battlefield Relics

All I was saying was the Nazi party was the political power at the time....Not the IDEOLOGY of all the TROOPS under them, Im not drawing any comparisions to the CF and the Nazi regime...Im not quite sure what you were attempting to read into my post.
 
Enough with the "war crimes/Nazis" bull####. ALL armed forces everywhere throughout history have committed atrocities.Take it to OT if you want to discuss it.

Other wise stay on topic and remember the rules for behaviour on CGN.
 
For the folks freaking out over Nahabit suposably keeping the German skulls:

"I addressed in ambassy-Germans have refused the the soldier of victims in territory of the Soviet union during 1941-1945. Me have asked to bury it independently in a wood."

I with pleasure would transfer bones to Germans or Swedes, but these countries do not want to recollect the past and refuse the the soldier taking place in Russian ground. Bombs and mines I assort on a part at me military education

His own words, now relax and take a deep breath :p

Treasure hunters and grave robbers eventually meet their fate by hitting unexploded ordenance. Many accidents still to this day.
 
This guy seems like a brainwashed punk anyway. Broken english, but his monumental intellect shines through:
"Stalin did not kill people, basically in prisons thieves, murderers, tyrants and spies were lost. I think about 10 million for 20 years of board. Stalin has lifted the country from ruins he has constructed the great country the mightiest country in the world which all were afraid and admired. After his death the country has gradually come to decline and ruin."
And these other yobs carry on kissing his ass. In a quick scan, I didn't see one poster chastising the grave robbery. Friggin tacky.

I assume that most of the milsurp regulars have an interest in more than just the guns, so I thought I would put up this page of battlefield pickups from Russia that I found on another board...

Guns, bombs, bones...

Get a load of the Mosin from a bog! I bet you could clean it and shoot it!


Ollie, Interesting link, thanks for posting it.
 
Finding old stuff in the outdoors is always exciting, moreso if it is related to something I'm interested in like militaria or weapons. Does anyone know what the regulations are concerning this sort of material in the European and former USSR countries where so much of this can be found? Is an archaeological licence required?
If this were in Ontario, one would need an archaeological licence, which under current policies requires a minumum of a Masters degree and years of documented related work experience to be legally permitted to remove anything from the ground - in other words, an impossible requirement for the average enthusiast.

I agree if Hitler won Churchill would have been the Evil guy.
Brittain comitted war crimes 40 years before, and I'll bet you that all the other powers in the world did too at some point
 
Many of the war dead on all sides were young draftees remember. It's not as if they had any choice where to go and get killed.
 
Just a minor point. If the Einsatz gruppen needed help in shooting folks, they called on the whermacht. Befehl ist Befehl.
Maybe in the eyes of folks on this side of the pond that skull would be bizarre, but what happened to Russia was far worse than what happened elsewhere. One has to look at it from their perspective. Not to mention he didn't say he kept the thing.

Why not go to any major museum and see what things they keep in the basement? Note he DID say he reburied most remains. If you are digging for artifacts, you are also most likely going to unearth the folks who were using them at the time.

I did find interesting the fact that a lot of those boxes and ammo were marked in English!
