The one good thing about all of this is that regardless of what side he was on you have gave him his dignity back even after death. Bless you all for doing such a personal and wonderful thing for someone xx

We found a German soldier from ww2. On Lunen berg heath. He was re buried, and the grave marked, and reported to our Bn HQ.

Thank you for caring about a soldier regardless of the army he fought for/against. No soldier wants to be buried as a soldier of the country not his own. They were brave, they were terrified probably, and fought for their country.

I come from a military family snd I have been witness to the Japanese honoring our fallen at the Pearl Harbor ! We unleashed the bomb on them and still they honor our fallen ! It is a point of respect ! I personally walk and try to recover Civil War battlefields ! I don’t collect relics from the field ( I find it disrespectful ) but many do ! I walk and look to recover soldiers and give them proper burial and identity ( when possible ) ! We have even returned some to their homes or their regiments of their brothers ! Both Union and Confederate , and yes we are still finding them ! They are still there under our soil here ! The battlefields of Europe and the eastern front are still rich with the bodies of some Mothers son ! God give them peace ! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻😰😰😰😰💔❤️💔❤️❗️

So incredible yet so sad what these men had to go through, now ik why my grandpa said "be greatful you're born in the 2000s and not the 20s." My grandpa fought in D-day (he was a combat medic during dday) He told me it sounded like hell with all the screaming, rapid gun fire and all the dead bodies, he even told me he was helping a wounded soldier when his best friend got shot 10-25 times in front of him, his friend was only 19 years old, RIP to the 4,500 men that lost their lives🙏🏾❤

Thank you for this Kris, .....It's hard to imagine the horror and fear these soldiers went through. No matter what side they were fighting on they were still someones son , brother , cousin. Respect to you guys for searching for these lost souls, to give some sort of closure to the families. Sorry you couldn't find out who he was, but at least now he will get a decent burial .

There should be an organization that takes and samples DNA from these remains and puts them in a database and that way anyone with any relation to said sample who gives DNA could possible identify the loved one for even more closure.

I dug around San Pietro and Monty Cassino. I found metal and uniforms only 4 inches under. The fields gave more relics. We found cases of live mortar shells in the stream behind the Abby

I could help but tear up a bit when they pulled out the soldiers razor ! Personal items are the most painful to find ! It brings their life home to you ! It hurts , I have actually found lettered and diaries ( intact basically) tucked away in tight leather pouches that I reserved the paper , read them ! Read what a soldier writes then you know their heart , it’s never if hate , of race or destruction it’s always of home , of family of love of longing and loneliness and a great deal of hunger ! They all just wanted to make it home ! 😰😰😰😰😰💔💔💔🙏🏻

loved this series, its what made me find your channel when i first watched it. I know you had issues because of this but if its any small victory please know the knowledge and history you guys have passed on was invaluable to us!

During wartime bodies of the fallen can be lost even in the middle of a town. This happened in the English south coast town where my parents grew up as children during WW2. Late in the war an American fighter plane came down vertically and buried itself deep in the clay soil in an ordinary side street, right in front of someone's house. There was a misunderstanding at some point and it was believed at the time that the pilot had bailed out before the impact. Some local people who saw the crash knew the canopy was still closed and the pilot was still in it, but the "officials" knew better and so the plane wreckage was buried where it lay. Forty years later a group similar to those in this video began researching and eventually recovered the plane. Sure enough, the pilot's remains were still there and were recovered for proper burial. Earlier in the war a German plane had crashed into the wall of the graveyard. The pilot was found dead, hanging in the branches of a nearby tree. As it was before people's attitude hardened with all the suffering to come, the pilot was buried in the cemetery with full military honours, including a gun salute. Five years later, enemy bodies were still respectfully buried but with no ceremony.

Regardless of nationality, its our young that die in these wars, these brave young men. A mother and a father who never again saw their child. A soldier has been returned with his comrades. thank you.

Craig the guy in the orangeish sweater is the militaria expert from Pawn Stars.

I loved watching this series when it first came out, and would love to rewatch it. Although rewatching it from your perspective, especially as i only recently watch your video where you talked about the horrendous time you had with production/ tv company. Just know you did amazing work. My ancestry who perished in ww2 as undesirables (Roma), thank you for returning to these places and bringing back the dead.

DANKE 🙏

Fantastic video and touching at the same time 😢 your team gave An unknown soldier who died all Those years ago a Christian ✝️ burial

I was told that in Scotland where thistles grow there is a most probable likelihood of a deceased animal or body. I recently corresponded with Steven in the video and he does in deed know vast knowledge about WW2 Explosives. great clip.

Ain't Craig the guy from the pawn shop show?

Salute..❤ grandchildren ❤

The german button and german razor could've been battle field loot that russians picked off a german soldier, so I don't think it's good to assume he's german based only on that, Even if it was german positions. It could've been a russian killed by retreating troops.

I had a German incendiary bomb fin when I was a kid, it was painted gold.

Cheers, Kris!😊

Thank You

Thank you for bringing this battlefield into perspective

The end LOL.

Some mines are still active there BE CAREFUL

I found amarican soulders in ww2 on normandy beach D-DAY

Im from Latvia 😀😀😀

Good work!

A farmer wouldn't bury s body in a cultivated field

Nice goin m8s, thanks, stay vertical Eh!

Just out of curiosity, are you using Finnish Fiskars shovels?

That short haired guy in the red coat. He’s been in a lot of pawn star episodes.

Thats the gun expert from Pawn Stars

Latvia is full of historical remains.

They might get a DNA test from the bone to find living relatives.

the dead soldier be like whats that noise no the war again

"black diggers" comedy gold

A fantastic video well done all

I've been watching you for years . I thought you had issues with the way the company was with this documentary ? But nun the less still a good thing to see.

Where did that gun came form 😮🤨

It was watching one of these episodes with these guys where I found out about you on KZfaq. Nice one Kris. 👍🏻

Use dogs that can sniff out human remains im sure there’s some scent left.

So fascinating, I love looking at these videos and appreciate the people who take their time to research and find and pin point these sites,, the STG44 looks a little like my AR-15 as my rifle is not a Assault Rifle because it's semi-auto with a 30 round Magazine unlike the MP4 thats fully automatic and only the United States Military has access to are the Assault rifles , all of this is very fascinating hopefully DNA can identify them so nexted to kin can possibly be notify, Greetings from the United States 🇺🇸

what is this show called?

Ok this video is coool but why at 7:12 they spelt hitle# hammer oh wait now I know

While I really don't appreciate what Hollywood did with it or anything lately for that matter.. I really loved your part and what you do, the history YOU save. and share with us is always so important and appreciated, At least from me, friend.

Justin, thankyou for your reply. There was no one called Justin when the soldier was dug up and then reburied . So yes it happened.

Dna in the razor

Their starting to realize, they fought the wrong enemy 😮

Not exactly scientific ..like a cross between Time Team and Storage Hunters UK!

You guys are amateurs. That's not an MP44 it's a Sturmgewehr 44! Yes first assault rifle...sort of

😢😢😢😢

😮😮😮😮

18:28 Is that a bounty hunter I spy 😊👍🏽

DNA possible to match? Was this done?

History will prove the victor were ..............played by the $$

Just a lot of talking, making simpel shreapnell finsa important. More dingen guys, lessen talking.

Was this on tv ?

Not trying to be an arse with this comment just simply to promote a discussion and ask a question. Is it not possible that a russian could have simply just looted the razor? As said in the film "would a russian have a razor that good". Perfect reason to take a better one. Seems a hell of a jump to bury him in a german cemetery based on that alone. Was there more infomation that didn't get shown?

Very interesting and sad video but at least he's know laid too rest.We don't know what his SS past was we can only assume!!😎🐓🐓🐓🐓🇬🇧

HE SAYS IT WAS AN ELEGLE SEARCH, THEN THEY RING FOR A JOURNALIST"" ??????

Could you imagine TimeTeam digging holes like that? 7 shovel fulls , then stop and claim nothing there.......😂😂 You guys are lame😂😂

I love the work you are doing…however, please do not take the Name Of Jesus Christ in vain.

Wtf even is this?? They go to a battlefield and dig up relics.. Then they try to harm the fallen soldier with their big excavator and destroy the whole nature. After finding nothing more they shoot with a rifle and break the piece of the place completely. Why dont you leave the fallen rest where they were burried peacefully??

So I have a question we have 1 American and 3 Englishmen what is so fascinating and important about finding a German body or German relics over your own countrymen

Black what? Nigerians?

The background music is too loud, so people with less than perfect hearing cannot make out what is being said! I have tinnitus, so between the whistling that never goes away, and the musical noise, I'm struggling to hear the commentary.

Bit weird your looking for SS soldiers instead of like, Gurkas and Brits feom DDay...but nice I guess

This video is has got to be staged

Remember though these were not German soldiers they were SS, the ones that committed war crimes. Ordinary soldiers of any nation should be respected and treated to a decent grave, but murderers and thugs, not so much.

Interesting thought……… whilst you was filming this video, Russia was invading ukraines crimea in 2014.

Maybe sometimes check for dog tags

lol Craig is an ex American officer…😂😂😂😂😂no wonder us army is shite…seen more clued up army cadets
