Do you understand Russian, because I'm not sure what these excavations are about. these are German soldiers who invaded Russia and were brutal cruel murderers. I don't understand why a Russian would have an interest in these soldiers being honored with proper burial. Maybe they are on a mission to clean their land of them. what are they doing with the remains?
Yes, need more English subtitles because these men are really awesome at the job they do. They are meticulous and respectful at their jobs. They show the terrible cost of war. Mother's and Father's son's being left in farmers field for ever, unless they are found by Gentleman like these. Great job guys.
Leider nirgends klar erkennbar das der internationale Suchdienst eingeschaltet wurde. Traurig,es warten auch nach 76 Jahren immer noch Familie auf diese offizielle Bestätigung.
My wife's uncle just disappeared into the Russian Army during that war. The family have no idea where, when or how he died. Very sad. Handsome young man.
Great stuff. It must be amazing doing all the planning, searching & hard work to be rewarded with not only touching history but helping people. War has always been a human endeavor sadly. Sometimes friends become enemies & vice versa. After WW2 which had the biggest toll on civilians & soldiers in history, it is nice to see when old foes became friends. For example, Wehrmacht Major Hans Von Luck who was on Rommel’s staff became friends with Major John Howard of Pegasus bridge fame. They met annually until their passing. I am a US Army veteran. I got out right as war started. I always wondered how I’d do in combat but I am glad that I didn’t. I know a lot of my ex company mates changed after their deployments, so I feel lucky that I didn’t go if not guilty. I came close to reenlisting which would have guaranteed my deployment as I was a 19kilo. When you think of even our training, it’s hard. PT 4 times a week. Non stop training & out in the field. You’re always sleep deprived & either freezing or sweating your ass off. But war is something totally different. It’s the ultimate test of courage & sacrifice. So many young men died cold & alone. It’s horrific to think about. Sadly Russia is conducting the biggest combat operations in that area since WW2. Anyway, your excavations just highlight the immensity of WW2. It was millions of soldiers. Millions of dead civilians & soldiers. When you see those old bones it’s haunting. You wonder who they were. Were they scared? Did they suffer? If you look at the WW2 casualties numbers the number of MIA is awful. Besides finding great artifacts & relics of history, you are doing a great service for these soldiers. They can finally go home & be reunited with family if any are still living & be properly laid to rest instead of being left like detritus on an abandoned field. Thanks for your efforts & work.
Ken- my dad claimed that he and another New zealand soilder had too man handle 1,000 dead bodys in one day after the Cassino battle in italy 1944. They had too Drag them out off the rough Italy terrain and some were covered in big maggots and no matter what breed or colour the skin off a person is they go purple colour when left out in the sun and elements. Do not know if this was a record in bury bodys in one day
My Great Grandfather was M.I.A. somewhere between end of December 42 or beginning January 43 in Stalingrad. We were looking for him for several years but he just vanished. Last letter from him was painting a dark picture of the horrible, surreal scenario around him.. Like he knew it will be his last one... His last position was somewhere near the airport of Stalingrad. Till today I have the hope that one day someone will find him.
My grandfather is also posted missing in Action somewhere in Russia at the beginning of the Invasion I two hope one day that we will be able to give his name back so I know how you feel best of luck to you and godspeed

My great grandfather too never returned from the eastern front, he went I'll call it silent in winter of 42-43, many many German soldiers would never return from that battlefield, we lost millions 😢. I don't think people quite grasp that number,,,,, if you ever have the time and patience plus 1 million little flags on a lawn and you'll start to see the toll visually from the eastern front.
thanks to our russian friends, russians are our friends, not our enemies. Friendship for all time between germany and russians. WWII was horrible for both sides.
Destructions and mass loss of life was terrible for entire Europe. Germans had entire Europe and invasion in USSR was absolutely unnecessary. Like an Bulgarian I`m glad that we rejected to participate in this insane and horrible operation Barbarossa. I hope that will no more war in Europe.

Honorable work guys! massive respect your efforts and the way you handle the graves of these fallen soilders. War is a never a good thing and just remember some of these soliders left their families behind wondering what happened to them. All this because some men in power fed them a horrible narratives and beliefs. Facism brought the world to a stand still and caused massive losses! all for what? this is a lesson for the world.
WHY SHOULD YOU SAY RIP NAZI'S??? THEY ARE ENEMIES OF LEADER ADOLF HITLER!!! THEY ARE WAR CRIMES OF HELL!!! 😡😡😡😡 PLUS, REST IN PEACE FOR THE PEOPLE VICTIMS AND THE GOOD SOLDIERS FOR FIGHT LIBERATION DURING WW2 ARE DYING SOME MILLIONS AROUND THE WORLD!!!😢😢😢😢🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
sorry ... I see them as ordinary soldiers who are required by circumstances as soldiers in general ... not about the Nazis that I see. whether the German army or any other army that became his opponent, they were just ordinary soldiers and served as the army's duty.
if history only writes about war victories...then who will touch the honor of the defeated soldiers...now everything is just a pile of bones and covered in dirt, the winner and the loser have slept in the same place...the principle I respect the fallen soldiers on the battlefield, be it friend or foe.
Reading the Dog Tag: (appears to be) Infantry or Rifleman "Jager" (J.), Antitank (Pz.Ahw), Company (Kp.) I think the next bit is Jagerregiment (J.R.) 178 (178th Light Infantry Regiment) maybe of the 76th Infantry Division (Wehrmacht) 142 is the soldier's number in that company. If that's the case, the 76th Division made it to Stalingrad, was destroyed there and this fellow with it somewhere along the journey. It was later reformed in Germany and fought on the Western Front.
Its unbelieveble how many fallen soldiers that was just buried where they fought and never sent home. I guess that was a common thing back then. So many of these soldiers never returned home for their burial. In many cases they look like they where just dumped into a pit without taking their ammo and gear, sometimes even several bodies in the same hole. Maybe it was done by civilians after the war during the clean up. Who buried them, Whats their story, how did they fall, how did these locations look during time of war..so many questions when I see these videos. Good work guys. Finally they can get an ID and a proper place to rest.
Well done guys. Sometimes the only hope a soldier can have if he falls on the field of battle is to be returned home with the memory of honor and dedication to duty to his/her country. Thank you for granting this wish to these brave fallen soldiers. You are bringing peace to these brave souls and the families that have given all for what they believed in. Your honor given to these fallen warriors is righteous and noble. Semper Fi.
Matsuo Basho wrote a haiku:Summer grass is what remains of the soldiers's dreams.He wrote it for Japanese warriors but it should be written in every battlefield 'round the world.
After the battle for the Falklands was over, the Argentine soldiers that fell were buried as unknown because they didn't wear dog tags.The latter are elemental assets every soldier must have.
It's too bad DNA samples were not taken for example finger nails for later identification. A lot of people in Argentina are still looking for relatives made to disappeared by the former regime.
@@waynebrown616 Incredible!!!.It is true, i saw that German soldiers's remains had the halves of the dog tags in their skulls.Those who buried them knew that one day the remains would be dug out and identified.That's foresight.
@@anibalcesarnishizk2205 Yes. That was done in the field, under combat conditions, most likely. The other half of the dogtag would have been forwarded by the unit leader responsible for the tags to the appropriate authority. If time permitted, the soldiers would have been reinterred, but often given the fluidity of the military situation on the Eastern Front, this was not always possible, as we have seen by this evidence. So, half of a dogtag in an improvised, temporary grave, gives me hope that the relatives ultimately found out about their relatives. The German government is still actively involved in finding the missing from WWII. These Russian grave robbers are finding complete dog tags, which gives me the concern that these men are still considered missing, and I do not trust THEM to make proper notification. They are doing this for profit, or they are just sick, or both.
Digging around in these grave areas can be wrought with danger. Buried ordinance can still go off if the spades used for digging can come in contact with the detonator part of the ordinance. These guys are in my book very courageous to be doing this.
It definitely does pose a significant threat and some types of ordnance can become extremely unstable after being buried for years. Things like Phosphorus can ignite when it come s into contact with the air. This happened on December the 1st 2021 - Four people were hurt, one seriously, when a World War Two bomb blew up on a railway construction site in the German city of Munich. The fire brigade says it happened during drilling work near Donnersberger Bridge, close to the main station. Also have a search for Exeter University ww2 bomb.
@@robd1329 it's a fairly common for bombs leftover from the war to be found in Europe and an area will need to be evacuated until it's deemed safe even in recent years. The chances of something that a soldier that's been buried in the mud might have on him like a grenade or mortar shell going off is probably much slimmer though.
@@MrHeidiHigh If you look at conscriptions the majority was around 20 years old for german troops even lower and probably didnt start a family of their own yet. So it's a fair assumption given the chances.
Ich finde es sehr gut, dass dies heute immer noch durchgeführt wird. Aber auch an alle Hobbysucher, bitte gebt die gefundenen Erkennungsmarken ab. Zu viele Schicksale sind noch ungeklärt. Auch mein Großvater zählt, bis heute, noch als vermisst.
Ich habe gehört, dass die deutsche Seite keinen großen Wunsch hat, ihre zu holen. Im besten Fall werden die Überreste der Organisation "Volksbund" übergeben.
These guys are doing great works. Whether former enemies or compatriots, they are showing respect by carefully handling their remains and notifying their relatives by the identification with the corpse.👍🙏
I applaud the efforts of these guys and perhaps it's already being done, but I hope the remains are identified and repatriated. I wish trained field archeologists could have a go at these sites before so much is disturbed and carried away.
These guys every year collect the bone harvest as volunteers if I remember correctly but only 10 -15% of them can be identified an that is only if they still had their name tags or put their names on something of theirs that has survived but yes as best as they can the Germans go back home an so do the Russians
There is another group on here doing it. They’re older videos, but they are being commissioned to dig up the German soldiers where there are known graves and they’re being shipped home.
I'm always amazed at how far down the soilders are. Are they always buried by someone is it it time that buried them..... Thanks for finding them and getting them home. I'm an American but I have a country and have a family. I'm sure both are thankful for what you are doing.
To visit Russia during the may day parade was a very heartfelt emotional experience.. to see Russians carrying photos of ww2 era relatives was something I never will forget or what I felt standing there watching.. I know who and what won ww2
@@kiz11a lets see. China joined the war in 1939 (although they were being attacked by Japan as early as 1934 or before) Poland joined in the war in 1939, Austria, Czechoslovakia and Finland joined in 1939, the Scandinavian countries joined in 1940, France joined the war in 1939, the British Empire which includes Canada joined the war in 1939, Tonga, Morocco, Tunisia, Nepal, South Africa, Kuwait all joined the war in 1939, Egypt and Greece joined the war in 1940 and the United Stated joined the war in 1941, along with most of the non-British Caribbean nations and some Central American countries. obviously i didnt list all of the smaller countries but since many were part of the Dutch, French or British colonies, they were all brought into the war the same time their "parent nation" was. what's this BS your'e spewing about "...that joined the war in 1944 when the outcome of the war was obvious"?

They are disturbing graves out of disrespect and for profit from war souvenirs. It should stop. The German, Russian, former Soviet republics and the Ukrainian governments, should step in immediately.
Thank you guys for doing such a difficult job. If you could answer a question please. Do you know who threw these dead soldiers together and just covered them with dirt ?
The war is over, the leaders shake hands, and that old woman will remain waiting for her lost son, and that girl is waiting for her beloved husband, and those children are waiting for their heroic father. I don't know who sold the country, but I saw who paid the price.

Soldiers of both sides are martyrs.They fought for their country.Two dictators were behind all this.
Hang on a minute…who attacked who. The Nazis are not martyrs, they are killers
@@kiz11a The Geeman soldiers who were conscripts or were forced to join the army are martyrs.
Great job guys. Greetings from Texas
God bless the Occupied Republic of Texas!
Well done guys. Sometimes the only hope a soldier can have if he falls on the field of battle is to be returned home with the memory of honor and dedication to duty to his/her country. Thank you for granting this wish to these brave fallen soldiers. You are bringing peace to these brave souls and the families that have given all for what they believed in. Your honor given to these fallen warriors is righteous and noble. Semper Fi.
Matsuo Basho wrote a haiku:Summer grass is what remains of the soldiers's dreams.He wrote it for Japanese warriors but it should be written in every battlefield 'round the world.
This is deep,
@@Lorusconvictus
Yep🤔😌
After the battle for the Falklands was over, the Argentine soldiers that fell were buried as unknown because they didn't wear dog tags.The latter are elemental assets every soldier must have.
It's too bad DNA samples were not taken for example finger nails for later identification. A lot of people in Argentina are still looking for relatives made to disappeared by the former regime.
As an aside, the first official, streamlined use of 'dogtags' was during the Franco-Prussian War. The Prussians pioneered it.
@@waynebrown616
Incredible!!!.It is true, i saw that German soldiers's remains had the halves of the dog tags in their skulls.Those who buried them knew that one day the remains would be dug out and identified.That's foresight.
@@anibalcesarnishizk2205 Yes. That was done in the field, under combat conditions, most likely. The other half of the dogtag would have been forwarded by the unit leader responsible for the tags to the appropriate authority. If time permitted, the soldiers would have been reinterred, but often given the fluidity of the military situation on the Eastern Front, this was not always possible, as we have seen by this evidence. So, half of a dogtag in an improvised, temporary grave, gives me hope that the relatives ultimately found out about their relatives. The German government is still actively involved in finding the missing from WWII. These Russian grave robbers are finding complete dog tags, which gives me the concern that these men are still considered missing, and I do not trust THEM to make proper notification. They are doing this for profit, or they are just sick, or both.
diras Batalla por las MALVINAS , NO FALKLANDS..
Will those rounds still work and did you ask Govt permission for excavation?
I doubt it!
Digging around in these grave areas can be wrought with danger. Buried ordinance can still go off if the spades used for digging can come in contact with the detonator part of the ordinance. These guys are in my book very courageous to be doing this.
80yr ordinace going off??? I doubt that
@@robd1329 it can. its happened
It definitely does pose a significant threat and some types of ordnance can become extremely unstable after being buried for years. Things like Phosphorus can ignite when it come s into contact with the air. This happened on December the 1st 2021 - Four people were hurt, one seriously, when a World War Two bomb blew up on a railway construction site in the German city of Munich. The fire brigade says it happened during drilling work near Donnersberger Bridge, close to the main station. Also have a search for Exeter University ww2 bomb.
John, dass Frage ich mich auch! Ein Fehler, wird mit dem Tot bestraft. Das wird nach all den Jahren .......Instabil
@@robd1329 it's a fairly common for bombs leftover from the war to be found in Europe and an area will need to be evacuated until it's deemed safe even in recent years. The chances of something that a soldier that's been buried in the mud might have on him like a grenade or mortar shell going off is probably much slimmer though.
Why did you decide to do this? I’m very grateful for you all. My heart hurts for them all and their families. Thank you
@Charlie Williams What past away? This is a Grandfather of anyone ! First thinking, than writing!
@@MrHeidiHigh If you look at conscriptions the majority was around 20 years old for german troops even lower and probably didnt start a family of their own yet. So it's a fair assumption given the chances.
Ich finde es sehr gut, dass dies heute immer noch durchgeführt wird. Aber auch an alle Hobbysucher, bitte gebt die gefundenen Erkennungsmarken ab. Zu viele Schicksale sind noch ungeklärt. Auch mein Großvater zählt, bis heute, noch als vermisst.
Ich habe gehört, dass die deutsche Seite keinen großen Wunsch hat, ihre zu holen. Im besten Fall werden die Überreste der Organisation "Volksbund" übergeben.
?????????? Sono davvero riuscito a capire tutto🥶🥶🥶
Excellent stuff guys! Big bravo from USA!!!
У меня один вопрос что вы делаете после обнаружения останков германских войск? Обратно ли закапываете или же передаёте в определёныые места?
Есть кладбища
Danke euch das ihr die Menschen nachhause bringt.....
MfG.dieter
These guys are doing great works. Whether former enemies or compatriots, they are showing respect by carefully handling their remains and notifying their relatives by the identification with the corpse.👍🙏
I applaud the efforts of these guys and perhaps it's already being done, but I hope the remains are identified and repatriated. I wish trained field archeologists could have a go at these sites before so much is disturbed and carried away.
These guys every year collect the bone harvest as volunteers if I remember correctly but only 10 -15% of them can be identified an that is only if they still had their name tags or put their names on something of theirs that has survived but yes as best as they can the Germans go back home an so do the Russians
These men clearly are at least somewhat experienced archeologists. Note their careful excavation techniques
There is another group on here doing it. They’re older videos, but they are being commissioned to dig up the German soldiers where there are known graves and they’re being shipped home.
YES .. they need experts doing this... cant believe they are digging it up without a care in the world.
@@gunnarthefeisty yeah experienced...haha
Poor kids. R.I.P. War is terrible thing.
Хорошо земля на Украине сохраняет останки солдат. В Ленобласти земля агрессивнее ,мало что остаётся . Благодарю за труды в поиске погибших. 👍🏻
Triste, pero es la realidad de la guerra. Me pongo de pie ante estos guerreros que lucharon por una causa perdida. Como lo son todas las guerras.
escucha en el minuto 2:00, parece una psicofonia
Thank you for another great video!👍
👍
The dead of both sides surely thank you for your efforts to bring them home.
Was macht ihr denn eigentlich mit den Erkennungsmarken nach dem ihr sie gefunden habt??
Ich doch sehr das diese gemeldet werden.
4:55 tells a story. Amazing.
Fascinating.And it is fantastic, that they way that these lads are doing it, is with so much respect.
I'm always amazed at how far down the soilders are. Are they always buried by someone is it it time that buried them.....
Thanks for finding them and getting them home.
I'm an American but I have a country and have a family. I'm sure both are thankful for what you are doing.
You guys are doing a great job finding these dead soldiers of the past , hopefully they will get a proper burial. Thanks for sharing

To visit Russia during the may day parade was a very heartfelt emotional experience.. to see Russians carrying photos of ww2 era relatives was something I never will forget or what I felt standing there watching.. I know who and what won ww2
@@marckcarbonelloifveteran410 Вот хрен ты угадал !
@@marckcarbonelloifveteran410 you mean the by world that joined the war in 1944 when the outcome of the war was obvious
@@marckcarbonelloifveteran410 Well, I guess we know who drank the kool-aid, now don't we...
@@kiz11a lets see.
China joined the war in 1939 (although they were being attacked by Japan as early as 1934 or before) Poland joined in the war in 1939, Austria, Czechoslovakia and Finland joined in 1939, the Scandinavian countries joined in 1940, France joined the war in 1939, the British Empire which includes Canada joined the war in 1939, Tonga, Morocco, Tunisia, Nepal, South Africa, Kuwait all joined the war in 1939, Egypt and Greece joined the war in 1940 and the United Stated joined the war in 1941, along with most of the non-British Caribbean nations and some Central American countries.
obviously i didnt list all of the smaller countries but since many were part of the Dutch, French or British colonies, they were all brought into the war the same time their "parent nation" was.
what's this BS your'e spewing about "...that joined the war in 1944 when the outcome of the war was obvious"?
I love your channel - it’s sad sometimes to see last moments if brave going men who didn’t want to be there. You allow them to go hone and free their souls. How many have you recover so far germs? Russians?
Very Delightful Video Brother 💚💙

Solche Arbeit macht wohl jeden traurig. Den Gefallenen einen Namen geben ist ehrenvoll
Let not forget most of these bones belonged to soldiers between the ages of 18 - 25 . Very young.
Quantas vidas desperdiçadas. Que descansem em paz.
Do you try to return the remains and I.D. tags to the remainig families in German?
Do the remains get tested and or sent home?
Hi guys, Iam from india ......and I like all your videos .........
I love the professionalism and respect you have for the fallen Soviet and German soldiers,great videos ! Thankyou
Professionalism?? I dont know...
Danke für die Arbeit. Wäre schön wenn das russische Gespräch übersetzt würde!
It's as if they are coming back to life to tell us their story. RIP. 🙏🙏🌹🌹🌹
Súper excelente trabajo arqueológico forense buen vídeo.
Por q os corpos estão enterrados e por causa do tempo q foram cobertos ou eles foram enterrados queria entender vcs sabem me explicar ?
Hats off to these young men excavating the remains of these lost soldiers. May they finally Rest In Peace.
Obrigado muito bom vídeo
два моих прадеда тоже где-то там(((от этой сцены в окопе кровь стынет в жилах((спасибо вам за труды
Excelente video, es impresionante ver esos restos de personas y objetos que se encuentran ocultos en lo más remoto, lo que fue el campo de batalla descansen en paz todos los soldados caídos
Saludos
No no descansan en paz...es una falta de respeto
Don't you wish one of them would sit up and say, "thanks for gettin' all that dirt off me!".
9:15 Those remains look like an Imco lighter. The model is from Austria and still in production.
Esses artefatos de guerra são muitos interessantes bacana gostei.

Does the uniform degrade or are they burried naked?
Just let these poor men rest in peace !
They are disturbing graves out of disrespect and for profit from war souvenirs. It should stop. The German, Russian, former Soviet republics and the Ukrainian governments, should step in immediately.
Are remains that are found, especially the ones with tags, returned to Germany, Russia, Poland, etc?
Have any of these guys ever been hurt by any of thè munitions?
Do you want to see them hurt?
@@oluseyi8764 do you?
@@mrbachittarsingh9243 absolutely not!!
Thank you guys for doing such a difficult job. If you could answer a question please. Do you know who threw these dead soldiers together and just covered them with dirt ?
And could you also provide next weeks lotto number ? 😂 Of course they don’t know who buried them!
Outstanding video and finds 🙏🙏🙏
Q bueno labor la recuperación de estos soldados perdidos y olvidados sea del bando q sea son seres humanos q dieron su vida por una causa 😖
The war is over, the leaders shake hands, and that old woman will remain waiting for her lost son, and that girl is waiting for her beloved husband, and those children are waiting for their heroic father. I don't know who sold the country, but I saw who paid the price.
Beautifully said and very very sad
My respect of all soldiers.
Amazing video, thank you!
