Digging in KURLAND

[Inf Div 121]

We work in close connection with them, they allow us to search for Germans, and we are trying to find places which hasn't been found by them, so no problems for us with them. Also no problems with Russians, we work together with Russian embassy.

I was just thinking about the soldiers with the non readable tags. Sometimes Volksbund wont take soldirs with no ID, even they are found in a German trench.

Here is different situation, we are the only unit in Eastern Europe which we know to which Volksbund allows to do complete exhumation work, we have different rules than other units, Volksbund can give us even work to do. Volksbund stopped exhumation work by themselves in early 2000's and allowed us to do their work. Volksbund comes to our place once a year to do paperwork and collect remains and items of soldiers.

That is very cool mate. You must be a pretty good team. Good luck and have a good season

Yes most of them had good ID tags, some 2-3 are unreadable, if Volksbund will find in it's archives plan of cemetery then all of them will be named. I will put more photos of this expedition in next days and short documentary about this trip is coming.

That's just amazing... good job! Look forward to seeing your documentation of this trip, sounds really interesting.
