  • In this battlefield research video we show you some interesting war relics that we found in our last visit on the eastern front. Such as German helmets, rifles and other things that were left behind in the woods after the war.
    Greetings from Holland.

    My Grandfather was 6th SS he watched some of your videos and was brought to tears by what your bringing up. He thought it would all be rusted away by now. We've watched all your videos now. He thanks you and I thank you. -Your American friends

      I wish he could see further videos. We recently took a trip back to Germany and he passed away in his sleep on the first night. I figured he was at peace being home.

    From him there was only the belt buckle .... Nice video. Know the historical truth - is important.

  • @WWIIMetalDetecting
    @WWIIMetalDetecting  Před 11 lety +2

    That is correct, fieldgraves were sometimes marked with a helmet. This was just a single helmet on the bottom of a foxhole.

    Omg. What a special find regarding that SS buckle. Too beautiful and in perfect condition. Bless the soldier who wore that and may all their brave Souls RIP. Salute and Respect. You are not forgotten. It pains to think how they died suffering, alone and in pain away from their parents, family, wives. Truly war was so sad and traumatic

    It all ends with a visit to the selected area and a search with our metal detectors. It begins with information from a book, a journal, or documentary.
