This snowstorm started 5AM that morning, the same road.
We decided that we need better car for this weather... And then went to find Germans, but unsuccessful, we will go there later in spring to find them.
As we had rest of the day, we thought to go to nearest bunkers to find someone there. But again nothing, even no interesting relics only huge amounts of grenades, which were left in forest.
No finds yesterday, but good spent time in good company. The way to home was sunny.
Proper Ostfront conditions Andris !!! We start on the Narvafront soon , hopefully the snow will be well gone !!

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

Funniest thing that snow was gone, but on Easter, we had a surprise in 5 hours about 20-30 cm of snow.
Unbelievable. Here yesterday was +30 Celsius but you had snow
Looking for the photo albums of Leutnant Emil Freitag, 3. / G.R. 377
Great pictures! In Estonia it was also snowing hardly but I hope during next few days it is all gone again. The best season for digging starts (beginning of May) - not too hot, no too many plants and insects.
Really enjoying looking at the pics of your finds,keep up the good work.
