    I just wanted to congratulate Andrey ( Sebastien ) for recently passing the 4th anniversary of this long running thread. Other than the "who are we" type threads this must rank as one of the longest duration of constantly exciting finds and posts. For those of us far far away from the discussed areas this is the next best thing to being there ourselves!!! ....... keep up the good ( often cold ) work!

    Cheers, Dan

    Thought shall be the harder , heart the keener,
    Courage the greater as our strength faileth.
    Here lies our leader ,in the dust of his greatness.
    Who leaves him now , be damned forever.
    We who are old now shall not leave this Battle,
    But lie at his feet , in the dust with our leader

    Cheers Sebastien it's been almost 2 years since i've been on this threat so i have a lot to catch up, but as i was scrolling trough the pages i noticed this "ID tag Romanian soldier Ion Balint, he of 992 battalion, 1932 recruitment" , and since i'm a Romanian too and both of my grandparents fought in WW2 i was wondering what do you guys do with those tags, do you notify the proper authorities that will in return inform the authorities in my country and those will inform the family of the dead soldier that his tag was found ? i'm just wandering what's next...
