awesome pics,, deep digging though, i think a backhoe would have been very useful, lol. I too would like to see the mp40 cleaned up, my weak spot is german guns,,can weapons be donated to museums? or better off destroyed?

Good translation buddy, spot on! A panzer grenadier from GD? A very rare find indeed! Keep up the good work, hope to go there myself later this year...
