Re: Back from a trip to the Auvere
Another successful trip Dim !! Another 9 guys found i think there will be many more in this area , it is showing what heavy fighting took place in the trenches in these fields and how many guys are KIA and MIA there.
Another great excavation job by Gurov
The tag looks very corroded,do you think you have enough to identify the Russian officer from the mess tin and the Estonian Legion soldier ?

Courage the greater as our strength faileth.

Re: Back from a trip to the Auvere
Hard to imagine now the death and carnage in those fields and forests but no doubt many more KIA's/ MIA's are still there from both sides.

Re: Back from a trip to the Auvere
Guys, Finally I got permission from Estonian Goverment, and from Deutsche Volksbund. The permission allow to dig practically everywhere, and I will come on 26 of June to decide with local official authorities, and then get a permit from local land owners, and probably will spent a couple of days in research.For sure I will bring the camera with. So permission is valid untill the end of october.
Regards,
