Kursk: 1942 - 1943.

[Razor46]

Welcome! In this topic, I will delight you with a photograph from an excavation near Kursk, Russia. Unfortunately, my English is not good, so I use Google translator. There will be little text - a lot of photos Thank you all in advance for your interest in the topic !

I'll warm up the topic a bit. Finds from the north side of the Kursk Bulge. Where stood the 258th infantry division.

I wanted to ask, can the remains of soldiers be laid out here?

[The Devil's Bank]

Call the local Authorities/Police if human remains are found. PLEASE.

I represent a search squad, all the remains are transferred to burial.

Are all their possessions also returned so that the individual might be identified?

If you are working on behalf of an Official search group and reporting to the Russian War Graves Commission and the German Volksbund then yes you can post such photos .

So, I will answer all those interested. We work with the official permission of the Ministry of Defense. Findings in the photo were found without owners. In the event that burials are found, we perform exhumation, personal items are transferred for examination, and when soldiers are identified, they are transferred to relatives for burial.

In one month of exploration, 13 Soviet soldiers were found, 3 of whom were officers. 2 identified and handed over to relatives for a solemn burial.
