Picture of the 74 year old brain is pretty damn crazy!

Same here. I love anything to do with WWII History and this is pretty awesome. Those rounds look like 7.62x54r. Too bad they couldn't find a Mosin Nagant with him

Very Cool! I wonder how they knew where to dig? Also it look cold as ****.

Interesting, makes me wonder what if they didn't disturb them and left them there for like 5k years and then stumble upon them? Makes me want to be buried deep inside a glacier with an etched coffin, that shit would last awhile.

Pretty much every web browser has a translate option under the page tab or you can use Google, Bing, etc. Translations don't always make sense but you can usually get the gist of what is posted.

Awesome pictures. Very interseting.

Pretty neat. But why are they disturbing the graves?

My guess would be that they never received a proper burial and they are doing it to honor the fallen but for all I know they are building a home depot there.

Speaking of which, I found this today in an old pawn shop. Guy had no idea what he had! Got it for $100 out the door. :beer:
