Perhaps you were thinking of this, or not. When you made your camp, lived, ate, laughed, and sang so close (or on top) of the fallen, they were listening to you. The dead can feel life just as you can feel death. When your digger explained how she could tell the difference between roots, metal, and bone, she explained what roots and metal sounded like, but she said bone you feel in your heart. If you ever see elephants come to the remains of an elephant, the pick the bones up, they gently press their feet to the skulls; they are paying their respects to their dead. We do the same when we discover bones, we feel that immediate connection that this was a fellow human being (Russian, German, or a host of other ethnicities). You've done well to bring life into that place of killing. Please keep up the good work.
Hello, my name is Kevin . I have watched all of your videos and I am so interested in participating in one of these exhumations. I am mid sixties and retired, living in Oklahoma USA . Is it possible for me to be able to work with you and your team ? I am self sufficient financially and would donate money and my time for this endeavor. I see this as one of the most important things that we can accomplish! Please advise . Kevin
@@JohnnyCash-uw2dk Hi. Sorry, but I dont organize trips with other people, one of my points is to be in immersion with the locals. With covid and the war in Ukraine, I myself have no longer been to Russia since 2019.

History beneath your feet! Well done Jean-Loup to you and the group. I think it admirable that people go out working to find the dead in those conditions.
My grandmother lost her first cousin somewhere in the wilderness of Croatia, where he fought with the partisans against the Germans. She passed away without ever knowing what happened to him, and she carried a heavy sadness whenever she spoke about him. Every 1st of November, when we mourn the dead, she would take a flower to the family grave, yet she never discovered where he died or where he is buried. As a new generation, it's easier for us to only have the memory of that man. But for the older generation, this must be a lingering pain.
Thanks for this. I greatly admire the Russian diggers willingness to try and recover human remains from a swamp. It’s hard to imagine more difficult fighting conditions for the Russians and Germans. Absolute hell.
it looks very hard for the team to do their job so i try to imagine how many soldiers on both sides trying just to survive whilst being bombed and shot at in those conditions. thank you
very interesting video, it is amazing to know that there is still people trying to recover the soldiers that went missing, my grandfather might be resting somewhere in those swamps. panzergrenadier and schlossergehilfe Alfred Alfons Endler born in Wiatka(russia 1916) and fought for the germans, he received the Iron Cross 2nd class 25/7/1943 and went missing a day later somewhere in the Lunewo/Bolchoff area, my grandmother received some vague info about his dissapearance in the 60's from the german red cross stating he either died in battle or on the way to the soviet gulags(the letter seems more like a template). i still have hope he will be found someday

Its a Shame. This Soldier fought for his Country and gave his Live. And nobody searched for him. Nobody cares. And nobody buried him. He lies at the Place he died. And Mother Nature was the only who covered him.😢
I watched this video and it was such melancholy. It has been like 80 years since the war when it was filmed, and yet we (humans) are still dealing with the aftermath. Sure most people don't even think about it anymore, but the remnants and scars are still there. And wonderful people such as these work to provide at least a final dignity to these boys and men :( War is awful, so much wasted life for a handful of people's egos.
That is not true. Each fallen soldier had a family that mourned him. Each country tried to recover as many as they could, but there were millions killed often in places like this. These efforts are funded today in Russia and the US and other countries does the same in places like Vietnam.

22:22 or so..I noticed the large power line towers over the area. I can't imagine that whomever excavated & installing those didn't SEE what was buried in the ground all around the area as they clearled land & dug down to put those towers in place.

It seems he speaks at least three with a lot of competency: French, English and German. It wouldn't surprise me at all if he were learning more languages.
This kind of search should have been carried out many years ago by the Soviet authorities, especially for the Red army casualties. Just shows you what Communists think of their war dead, preferring instead to erect memorials glorifying Stalin or their evil ideology.
Should look into what happened to the ones that survived but lost limbs or captured or just happened to see the living standard the Germans had making Stalin suss
According to the Russians, this specific battlefield had been ploughed after the war in oder to destroy/damage the bodies and discourage families from coming to find them.
The Germans are missing because the Soviet regime actively destroyed German cemeteries, made no effort to record German dead, and made no effort to bury its own dead in marked graves.
Im not trying to justify Soviets but Eastern front was a different level of Hell by few things: amount of killed on both sides,land area of battles/front itself and terrains like these swamps. But oddly in Yugoslavia was similar with its Partisans...like it was their philosophy. And i didn't know they were destroying body's...you learn something every day,thanks.
В России очень сложно договориться с государством по поводу их утилизации. Проще сделать вид, что этого нет. Миллионы боеприпасов раскиданы по лесам до сих пор.
I have a question about the digs: You've found at least several grenades. Are you ever afraid of finding live ammunition? Is that a danger yiu face, or is where you're digging too wet to even allow for that?
My parents bought a fishing kit from Vietnam with a name on it. I found out it belonged to a soldier who fought and died there. There is a big display for him in Texas? where he was from. I kept telling them that they should send it to his family or the place with the memorial but I don't think they ever did. It made me mad.

You mean NATOS war on Russian territory don't you? Ukraine is their globalist playground of sheer corruption for the elitists. They've broken EVERY BOUNDARY TREATY with Russia & expanded to top that off - against the treaty. And globalists REFUSED peace talks or negotiations with Putin repeatedly. There are 2 sides to the story. As long as you keep believing the WARMONGERING MSM Zelensky enjoys his new dictatorship & the wasting of billions in taxpayers money thrown his dancing actor WAY. He couldn't care LESS about the Ukrainian people. They're nothing but meat puppets to him having already sent 100s of 1000s of young men to their death in a war THEY CANNOT WIN.
putting a salute used by an all volunteer Ukrainian nazi forces as a comment here speaks volumes about you. i would type antifascist salute from my country but you would report me for threataning you (notsees like you usually being p@ssies and all).
Thank you for making the point that both sides (all sides) of WWII treated POWs horribly. There is no excuse and the Allies were just as bad as the Germans. For 80yrs people in the West have been fed propaganda regarding the superiority of the Allies... bunk. The winners write the history. Thank you.
POWs were treated resonably well in the West (including western POWs in Germany), particularly in the US. This is not propaganda, it is fact as recorded by numerous witnesses, and as former POWs told me themselves. On the other hand the Germans treated Soviet POWs horribly and vice versa. The saying that the winners right history doesnt make much sence in the WWII context where the Germans have also written their version of evens.
I need to find me a good strong Russian girl to marry! In America its hard to find women like this. I know this is the place to talk about women when so many young soldiers died horible deaths and buried where they lay for 80 years, so sad.
How is this group grave robbers? Have you seen a single one of the videos showing the effort they put into the identification of a fallen soldier? You can’t call the dirt these soldiers are in a grave. They deserve their names back and to be brought back home, regardless of the side they fought on.
@@CrocodileTear Thank you for what you do, I can’t imagine the feeling of having a family member found from so long ago. I lost an uncle in Italy (his body was sent home to Massachusetts) and my grandfather made it home alive thankfully. I’ve just started searching into my uncles service and death and it’s really hard work. So thanks again all the way from Massachusetts! lol

They were there in all seasons.
19:56 so sad
👍👍👍👍👍
❤❤❤
I love the Russian music ❤ Cant imagine people living and dying in such a place though. Its beautiful, but also seems miserable at the same time
Sadly, they'll be still doing this in 50 years looking g from troops buried in trenches today.
Yep history is repeating itself unfortunately
а чего песни не на английском? эх вы.
چرا انسانها از جنگ و تاریخ درس نمیگیرن همین امروز توی مناطقی دگر در جهان در اوکراین در روسیه و در خاور میانه جنگ جریان دارد
Because there's always a government/religion wanting to rule the entire world their way. You should KNOW this.
Thanks for what you do im glad my great grandfather survived the war and even the gulag as pow in Russia. His brother was not so lucky, he died near Minsk he's buried there
I’m surprised there weren’t swarms of mosquitoes.
It was April and still cold.
I would not want to die in a fucking swamp RIP to those lost man fuck
so many hero's tragic loss for the ussr
Ich wünsche Euch ein friedliches Osterfest 🐣🇷🇺❤️🇩🇪
There rest the 2nd Shock Army men , they broke the German line and got surrounded , forbidden to retreat .
Job security these days going to be a lot of digging in Ukraine
vodka bread and cigarette
I hope they manage to avoid being sent to fight in Putin's war in the Ukraine.
Putin's war.. ibet you think Barbarosa was about communism!
You mean NATOS war on Russian territory don't you? Ukraine is their globalist playground of sheer corruption for the elitists. They've broken EVERY BOUNDARY TREATY with Russia & expanded to top that off - against the treaty. And globalists REFUSED peace talks or negotiations with Putin repeatedly. There are 2 sides to the story. As long as you keep believing the WARMONGERING MSM Zelensky enjoys his new dictatorship & the wasting of billions in taxpayers money thrown his dancing actor WAY. He couldn't care LESS about the Ukrainian people. They're nothing but meat puppets to him having already sent 100s of 1000s of young men to their death in a war THEY CANNOT WIN.
Hard for the Soviets to search for their dead when they don't even have bread.
Western lies, as you well know. Observe they are eating bread with lunch....
Lots of camping not much digging
Slava Ukraine..
putting a salute used by an all volunteer Ukrainian nazi forces as a comment here speaks volumes about you. i would type antifascist salute from my country but you would report me for threataning you (notsees like you usually being p@ssies and all).

Thank you for making the point that both sides (all sides) of WWII treated POWs horribly. There is no excuse and the Allies were just as bad as the Germans. For 80yrs people in the West have been fed propaganda regarding the superiority of the Allies... bunk. The winners write the history. Thank you.
POWs were treated resonably well in the West (including western POWs in Germany), particularly in the US. This is not propaganda, it is fact as recorded by numerous witnesses, and as former POWs told me themselves.
On the other hand the Germans treated Soviet POWs horribly and vice versa.
The saying that the winners right history doesnt make much sence in the WWII context where the Germans have also written their version of evens.
I need to find me a good strong Russian girl to marry! In America its hard to find women like this. I know this is the place to talk about women when so many young soldiers died horible deaths and buried where they lay for 80 years, so sad.
This is not the place. Typing on a phone with my sausage fingers.

Grave robbers
How is this group grave robbers? Have you seen a single one of the videos showing the effort they put into the identification of a fallen soldier? You can’t call the dirt these soldiers are in a grave. They deserve their names back and to be brought back home, regardless of the side they fought on.
simpleton
@@CrocodileTear Thank you for what you do, I can’t imagine the feeling of having a family member found from so long ago. I lost an uncle in Italy (his body was sent home to Massachusetts) and my grandfather made it home alive thankfully. I’ve just started searching into my uncles service and death and it’s really hard work. So thanks again all the way from Massachusetts! lol
Get rid of Putin i says
These people in the video all look so nice and friendly, I can't believe that their home country is currently massacring babies, children, women and men in Ukraine...
France, the US, Germany, the UK, Israel... all have done the same some day or even today...
Dont confuse individuals with their country.
And Zelensky is doing the SAME to his subjects.
