I keep looking at this man, it looks like he fell there an hour ago. The expression on his face is completely readable. These are some really intense pics Dimas.

Good to see that these men are found and they received the burial they deserved! Every KIA or MIA deserves it!

[KriegMann]

My question is, how do people completely forget about, or miss something like this? Unless everyone was killed or MIA after the battle. I find it strange IMO.

I think it's called the fog of war... Sad but true.

Nothing strange in the Soviet union, it forgot the fallen soldiers, to hide the casualities. The victorians cannot have such a lot of KIA soldiers

Also the areas involved in the east are often extremely remote and vast.
