my cousin who lives near to berlin once used to dig out helmets and stuff. now he's in Kentucky, USA with a school exchange.

i wouldn't wonder if someone finds bones or rotten bodies in that area. this is where the "Endkampf" took place.

I'm talking about Berlin and not about Kentucky, you morons!!

Verdun is still full of WWI bones and remainders! And I can assure you that there are still tons of remainders to be found in russia.

Bones!  That's pretty freaky.  I figured human remains whould be decomposed by now.  Then again, archeologists dig up bones thousand times older all the time.  I guess they got preserved by all the mud.

I used to hike a lot when I was stationed in Italy, especially around the Monte Cassino area where a lot of fighting took place.  I would stumble across old overgrown bunkers all the time.  The gun emlacements and turrets were mostly still in place except the weapons themselves of course.  Lot's of scrap metal, old artillery shells, empty ammo boxes, pots, pans, and canteens, etc, nothing really valuable.  

It did leave a lasting impression on me though.  Previously to my trips into the Italian countryside, WWII for me was kind of surreal, like an old black and white movie.  It was really eerie to realize that it actually took place only 50 years earlier.  It blew my mind.

Nothing extrodinary anymore is the constant note in the news that a bomb from WWII has been found somewhere in town (usually if they take away after-war houses). Funny to know that any appartment you can rent may still be built on a heavy bomb!
