Without giving mucht of the details, I can recall two serious incidents this year with WW1 UXO in Western Flanders.. You captured that well: Germans are NOT interested about their war past. The assault came only just in time, with Russian troops beginning toclose in on the Chasiv Yar roadas well. Recent Developments in Auto-Loaders (1922), While the MP5SD is made with a barrel ported right at the chamber to reduce bullet velocity, I am curious to see if it will actually work. Journalists from theAP andAFP also recorded video and photographs of dead bodies on Yablonska Street on the afternoon of April 2.

It was simple, powerful (for the period; it was chambered for 7.63mm Mauser), and remarkably ergonomic. In the days that followed, the video of victims in Bucha, always labeled fake, played again and again on Russian state television shows dedicated to interpreting the news for the nation. In 2018, the British government accused Russia of poisoning Sergei Skripal, a former Russian-British double agent living in England, with a military-grade nerve agent. Russias Foreign Ministry responded by claiming that British spies might have poisoned Skripal as part of a plot to tarnish Russias reputation ahead of the World Cup soccer tournament it was preparing to host that summer.

The footage was still playing on a loop behind Loseva as she handed the floor to a guest, Gevorg Mirzayan, who teaches politics at Moscows Financial University.

What about the law ? One other thing about digging up WW11 relics is the danger from shells and grenades that have been buried, and lain there slowly deteriorating and becoming more dangerous over the past 70 or so years. Shapravsky then specifically warned everyone to avoid the corpses on the streets. I wonder if they are still married. I really like that dug VG1-5!

Yes here in the US, finding human remains of people killed in battle would be near impossible.

$7,500.00. Absolutely the same. I expect this is a subject more familiar to our European readers than folks here in the US the idea is tromping out to the sites of WWII skirmishes or battles with a shovel and a metal detector, and digging up artifacts like helmets, canteens, firearms, ammo and casings, and other detritus of warfare. Since most metal parts are corroding away and everything organic (leather and wood) is long gone, Ive got not issue with their being recovered . And the longer these crazy losses unjustified in the opinion of lower- and middle-rank soldiers go on, the lower the morale of the Russian Army will be at the time of our counteroffensive.. As soon as we forget the pain and cost of world war, we will enter into it again. Hes a digger, Yaroslav added, referring to one of the unarmed men Russian commanders send into the teeth of Ukrainian fire to dig trenches and carry ammunition.

Instead of trying to suppress apparent evidence of Russian war crimes in Ukraine, Russian state television inundated viewers with video of the Bucha massacre it calls a hoax.

A video of dead bodies on Yablonska Street in Bucha was posted on the Kievskiy Dvizh Telegram channel on April 1, 2022, at 9:48 p.m. local time in Kyiv, Ukraine.

In that case, Russia claimed, incorrectly, that the only evidence of a chemical attack was video of children being doused with water by rescue workers in an area held by Syrian rebels until the next day. And he was not /is not alone in his pursuit. Your email address will not be published. Regarding ordnance; you do not know what you can run into this is not remnants of (kind of cute in comparison) American Civil War. They closed the war chapter long time ago and do not appreciate when it is repeatedly brought back onto them. It was fused and the explosives would destroy a tank as it was intended. What some viewers misinterpreted as a persons arm being raised was actually a speck of water on the car windshield the video was recorded through.

Propagandists create the kind of public opinion that no longer simply allows Putin to commit war crimes, but demands them of him., Robert Mackey[emailprotected]theintercept.com@RobertMackey.

A Deep German Bunker Her is another find by the Russian War Diggers. Ive been watching some videos on YouTube of this sort of thing, and Im curious what you guys think of it. Do not touch the bodies of the dead, which have been lying for a long time, Shapravsky said.

Immediately after the war, there were reports that units destroyed or burried supplies so as not to have it dumped on the market and supress domestic production of consumer goods. The preservation of organic materials such as wood, leather, cloth, etc., depends on the amount of water and oxygen in the soil: very wet/very dry: good preservation. And the mayor said that the previous day, March 31, was the day the city was liberated from the Russian occupiers, not March 30. Last month the Russians nearly achieved their goal of encircling Bakhmut. Three men with ties to Russian military and intelligence agencies, were later indicted for shooting down MH17 by international prosecutors. Russian viewers, instead of being discouraged from seeing videos that implicate their soldiers in war crimes, have instead been forced to watch the brutal images of dead bodies lining the street of Bucha over and over but always accompanied by conspiratorial claims that the victims were either actors, pretending to be dead, or people who were killed by Ukrainian forces after Russian forces left.

So what the discussion needs to be is how we keep the memory of such horrific pain alive. In fit of diggers fever you can (and probably will) run into unexploded ordnance hand grenades, mortar bombs most likely. Sloviansk, Kramatorsk, Druzhkivka and Kostyantynivka, all those cities, hundreds of thousands of people.. It was in Mojave county as I recall. While Russian television has obsessively focused on the recording from that street that emerged on April 2, the earlier video shows that this crime scene in Bucha was first recorded the same day the citys mayor announced that the Russian troops were gone.

Not expensive but it will have some pitting! Compared to old indigenous sites here, there is hardly anything we dont already know about the fighting in WWII and the people involved so are diggers really hurting anything of value?

A screenshot from a discussion of the Bucha massacre on the Russian state television show Antifake, in which the killings were described as a hoax and genuine images of the victims were stamped Fake in Russian and English as they played in the background. Thank you for contributing to this discussion. Hes not carrying a weapon, said Yaroslav, a filmmaker in civilian life who now leads a drone reconnaissance unit that filmed the incident. Loseva told viewers that the Western-directed hoax had been staged in Bucha because U.S. President Joe Biden had recently called his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin, a butcher. The Ukrainian citys name, Loseva explained, sounds like the English word butcher., This ridiculous conspiracy theory has now been picked up by Russian TVTalk show host Olesya Loseva suggests that Bucha was chosen for the West's "egregious accusation against Russia" because Biden recently called Putin a "butcher", so the word "should be clear to Americans" https://t.co/PZwUmHtKXK pic.twitter.com/uQcsupiHlC.
Wasnt it the same in Srebrenica? Zakharova asked, according to an official transcript. I bought it and am in the process of restoring it. Not that one shouldnt exercise caution anyway.. They have a very good separation of tasks, Yaroslav said. Another really awesome dug part I own is a part from the MG08/15 Lafette. I dont think there is anything wrong with excavating and (hopefully) preserving items in that circumstance. The majority of a Nazi mortar fuze was the best find. pic.twitter.com/5jEnNfu0Xy. One Antifake guest, Alexander Artamonov, the former editor of a government radio station, then echoed the Russian Defense Ministrys claim that the scene was staged, observing that it looked to him as if the bodies had been carefully laid out for the media.

I searched for 4 years to find a certain bracket to hold the 1910 optics. And Ukrainian commanders on the front lines say that they sense that Russian units are hollowed out and could collapse in the face of a strong Ukrainian counteroffensive that is widely expected in the spring, after promised Western weapons are in place. WebWW2 Relic Hunters Here is a video from the Russian War Diggers where the Germans Hurriedly threw their Equipment in the River They are so much used to it that they pile them up along to road or (worse) place them in holes in concrete pillars for phone cables.

Or in Aleppo and Douma in Syria? General Patton trained men to operate tanks for the North African war. Russian television has also concealed from viewers that an earlier clip of the bodies on Yablonska Street was uploaded to Instagram the evening of April 1.

In other words, a show that claims to help Russian viewers see through hoaxes is itself part of a hoax. If human remains are discovered, in my opinion, all bets are off and there should be due care shown to attempt recovery of the remains as well as (ideally) some study as to how they came to be where they were found.

The fight for Bakhmut has leveled large parts of the city, where its estimated that only a few thousand civilians remain. The Russians are very good at digging in, Yaroslav added. ive seen the same youtubes, my hair went into a perm seeing them dig up rusty panzerfausts, grenades,and shells, how can it possibly be worth the risk ? Nazi War Diggers, which was also pulled from its schedule by Foxtel in Australia in 2015, consists of four one-hour episodes during which the excavation team traces, It is quite common in MD, VA, WV, and PA to hunt for American Civil War items.

Ms. Bezuhla traveled into Bakhmut under cover of darkness last week. They demand a war to the bitter end, storming Kyiv, bombing Lviv.

Soldiers in a demolition unit come by every week or two to collect all the shells, and then destroy them. In that Facebook video, the secretary of Buchas city council, Taras Shapravsky, advised residents who had fled Bucha that the town was not yet entirely free of Russian troops. 9/11 put an end to that idea but the cordite burned hot and quick and would pop nicly when combined with black powder and fused with a firecracker. One extra raises his hand, another stands up, apparently deciding that he has already played his role..

In a sign of just how close the Russian troops came, on Feb. 2 the Ukrainians blew up a bridge on the T0504 highway when the Russians seized part of the road from the south. As an archaeologist, working in Flanders on WW1 dig sites, i think I can add something to the discussion. How many covert wars, miscarriages of justice, and dystopian technologies would remain hidden if our reporters werent on the beat? When they encountered resistance, Russian troops simply demolished block after block with artillery, said Mamuka Mamulashvili, the commander of the Georgian Legion, a grouping of Georgian and other international soldiers whose units were fighting in the city. Thats how the video of dead bodies on Yablonska Street was framed on the evening news on Russias Channel One. However, another local official did mention the bodies of the dead in a video he posted on the same city Facebook pagethe morning of April 1. Firstly, the area I was in (near the German/Belgian border) was so thoroughly fought in, over, and around, that the entire region could be considered an archeological site. (In fact, the main evidence of an attack was video recorded in another location that showed a chlorine gas canister that was dropped on a building where dozens of victims were found.

Maybe the best treatment was at the in-laws Church, while digging a new foundation some relics were found so they put them behind glass in the new building, sort of a mini-mueseumbetter than being sold by the pound at a curiosity shop.
