Exhumations of WW2 Dead German Soldiers (1 Viewer)

Thought this dude and was strumming a guitar and singing like Freddy Mercury with those chompers for a second.

You mean like this? Since he's German, he' slinging a Gretsch (that's actually a shot of one of my guitars) since the founder of that company was from Germany. I don't know what he's singing though...maybe something by Guns n' Roses...

1. Lead guitarist of the DeathHeads .

Seriously, this is almost exactly what I had in mind to a T. I said Freddy Mercury, but you pulled off Slash, except that's not a Les Paul. Doesn't matter. This is an amazing post!

Can we get this man award?

Nevermind, you said it's a Gretsch because it's yours, and he's German. I was howling too much with laughter and in awe of your artistic abilities to pay too much attention to the finer details. I love it.

Even made the scene itself a tad darker to give it more of an atmospheric night-clubby vibe about it.

The more I look at this work of art, the more I notice finer details. This could probably actually be turned into a poster. Lol!

I was intrigued by these boots as well. I thought they could be mountain boots also. Turns out they are.

Waffen-SS 'Gebirgsjäger' Ankle Boots

Set 11.


10. Someone more familiar with German boots than I might know what type these are - with their distinctive toe pattern. Mountain boots?

I could do with that Russian Imperial coin.

I'm a Les Paul man myself (this is the first Gretsch I've ever owned) but Les Paul wouldn't work as he was of Jewish stock. Then, because it's the only Fender I like, I thought about a Tele, but the founder of Fender is American. I wanted to do him Jimmy Page style - when he wore a German officers cap and boots - but realized most wouldn't know that. After adding the shades, I saw Slash, lol.

Glad you like and yes, it'd make a cool poster

I appreciate the time you took to do that photo. Hell, the time you take to do these threads in general.

I would have instantly recognized the Jimmy Page reference. I had a poster of him wearing that hat on my wall when I was a kid. (My twin brother and I still squabble over who's posters were who's. Lol!)

The Gretsch worked out great. It has a similar design to a Les Paul. The Kingfisher Tele would have been a good choice as well.

Hey. You know your stuff. I have a cousin. Kid is from PA. He's got a YouTube channel. You should totally check him out. His name is Alex Schumacher. A hell of a drummer. Was my idea to start filming him when he was like 8 years old and start a YouTube for him. He's now 16, and has a shitload of followers. His best video is one where he got to jam on Florida Georgia Line drummer's kit. Forget that dude's name. But Alex was only like 8 or 9 at the time. Just this adorable smaller little kid. Had to reach out his entire body to jam on that full-sized kit. It was hilarious, and his skills were OUTSTANDING! Has just about 98,000 views. Here's a link to that video:



Yeah. I'm shamelessly plugging for him on here. Sue me 🤣

I don’t like it.

1.

2.

3.

4.

5.

6. A German MG42 spider sight - usually used for anti-aircraft firing.

7.

8.

9. Burials in the middle of a forest.

Another set of mixed exhumations: sometimes there aren't enough photos to make up a set. Just a note that these aren't being performed by relic hunters, the exhumations are performed by trained military archaeologists who catalogue and document every detail and rebury the remains they find in War Cemeteries (some in Germany and some in Poland). Miltaria is handed over to historical societies, weapons are handed over to the police and personal effects of a soldier are handed over to their families (if they were able to ID the soldier).

Set 26.

11. This soldier may have died from an artillery hit and soil was used to simply cover his remains up.

12. Other soldiers whose bodies weren't intact when buried.

13. MG ammo box.

14.

15.

16.

17.

18.

19. If the halved ID tag can be deciphered, then the soldier can be identified. This soldier was likely buried by fellow Germans who took the other half of his ID tag to send to their superiors to keep track of deaths.

20. Two soldiers are buried here.

Crazy shit. Hope they were returned home swiftly

 

[Morbid Curiosity]

The youtube channel ‘Crocodile Tear‘ is a great channel for things like this.

 

[damnedcat777]

Can we dig them ALL UP and then shoot them again? Fakken hun bastards. Should’ve nuked Germany too.

 

[McM]

Looks like someone tried to create an old Viking mead jar.
'Let's drink from the skulls of the fallen'.
Or it's the result of a kind of autopsy.

 

[Releasedingbat]

It’s funny to see just half a rib cage up buried haha, or femur down. They got fuckin mangled
