Stalingrad: digging near Gorodisсhe & Gumrak

[Sebastien]

Thanks guys, thanks for your words of encouragement...
This is a really good hole and it was very interesting to dig after the break in half a year ...

forgot to tell you, that there we found a steel buckle... in bad condition




Also there was not a lot of MG devices




Definitely I can say that in this bunker were soldiers from 94 Infantry Division.
I think there lived three soldiers. Because we found three bayonet scabbard, yet there were three Bread bag...
Two helmets, two buckles, one bayonet, one cover of Mess Kit, two gas mask ...


We also found one Soviet spoon. and the Soviet compass...

I want say, that two days ago my friend found not ordinary discovery ... MG ammo box from SS
He was next to the River Don...





what do you think about it?

may be that 44th box? or really ss-vt

[AT P Sweep]

The condition of those MG ammo boxes is amazing considering they were buried and near a river ! Stunning ~

Does look line ss runes but seems unusual to mark like that? 44 seems more plausible .. Strange

Was there anything in them?

Inside there was nothing. All boxes were empty.
