    This is the best channel of this type, that's why I keep coming back over and over. The condition of the artifacts that were found just amazing. As long as you keep making videos I'll be watching. Thank you preserving the things for future generations to see and learn from. Thank You for everything you do. Peace, Health and Happiness to you.

    Back home in Chattanooga, a farmer was digging holes for fence posts, hit a U.S.3inch Ordnance Rifle, the brass tube, some iron fittings, heavy chains, remains of bolts etc...were found. As a kid we played in the old confederate rifle pits on missionary ridge, found buttons, .58 caliber rounds, etc...

That evening fog was so scary too, Snodgrass Hill saw the worst of the fighting, a thick cold rolling low fog.

    The German infantry wasn't as mechanized as it appeared, it used a lot of horses and soldiers marched to get from place to place. Looking at this collection, like all the others, there's a feeling that some German marched from the Fatherland to some God-forsaken swamp in the USSR just to die......for what?
    I find these video fascinating. Partly for the history and partly for people who seem to be able to stand being up to their hips in mud and water to pull this stuff out of the ooze. Fascinating!

      To die for what? That truly is the question isn't it? As a combat veteran I can share my opinion on those just a little bit for what it's worth. Let me explain to you what they died for.... Not for politics, not for the love of country, not for anything Noble at all. Combat veterans, fight and die for each other. That's it it's that simple. They were sent there by their country, and probably very patriotic at the time and some even volunteered to go no doubt. But when you're there? And the bullets are flying around you? None of that stuff matters anymore. The only thing that matters to a true combat veteran, or should I say someone that is in combat and not yet a veteran. Is the person standing next to you. It truly is that simple. The whole goal of war for a combat soldier, is to get home, and for their friends to make it home.
      I hope you understand what I'm trying to say.

  • @randalldunkley1042
    @randalldunkley1042 Před rokem +14

    The good condition is from the heavy concentrations of tanic acid in the soil, this preserves ferrous and non-ferrous metals. Of course that is what is used to tan leather. No or little oxygen and a mostly organic soil base protected these items. Out of the ground these items will quickly deteriorate if not protected correctly. The white helmet would indicate that the soldiers were captured during the winter. The loose footwear would indicate that the soldiers were wearing felt boots and put their regular boots aside. Rifles were generally discarded but any machine guns would have been taken along. All this equipment is heavy and anything not valuable to the soldiers would be left behind. After digging up all this ordnance I thought that the comment "dangerous razor" was ironic.

Одно кладбище стоит где немцы держали свои позиции . там окопы пулемётные гнёзда , много было банок из под консерв. Второе кладбище в ущелье в лесу долеко. Но там почемуто немцы хоронили своих без ремней и были черепа рзбиты, житонов небыло. житоны мы нашли вообще в другом мести , куча была. А почему так было незнаю Загадка. Может немцы расстреляли своих кто отказывался воевать. НЕЗНАЮ. Бавария это красота и я горный человек.

      @crankyoldguy2 Před rokem +1

      It might be possible. The action certainly looks like it could be disassembled and cleaned up. The inside of the barrel is the question: while it may have been encased in mud when found, water came first, and it's pretty likely that it rusted up. If not, then you could have a functional rifle. There's certainly enough ammunition around - IF you can keep it according to local regulations.
