This makes very interesting reading considering how long it is since the end on WWII.

BBC News - Digging for their lives: Russia's volunteer body hunters

[The Jester]

That is a good read, but a very touching one as well....you cant imagine the thoughts going through the minds of these people when finding the buried soldiers.

For some people war is never over.....

Fantastic article on a very harrowing period of history.

I think what makes the work more harrowing is the number of those killed trying to uncover the bodies of dead soldiers and the risk associated with explosives which have lain sweating for years.

Truly remarkable that these people are volunteers.
