LUFTWAFFE PILOT'S BRIEFCASE IN THE WRECKAGE OF A Ju 88 BOMBER 

Looks like it crashed last year.

@@distantthunder12ck55 yrp

I agree! But those guys don't look to be caring whether or not anything is of use as they are pretty crudely recovering things.

@@billkahl1147, that's the big problem...amateurs. And there's no money going into the recovery of these aircraft..certainly not in Eastern Europe.

more like looting the wreckage....

This may break the heart of you restorers, but these guys could also make a fortune punching little oval skin tags out of the remaining skin. People pay good money for the things cut from a scrapyard, say L 1011, so the sky would be the limit for a genuine JU 88 skin tag. Sadly, this wreckage is likely to end up as scrap aluminum. Something like the pilot’s Luger is worth saving to these guys, but beyond that it’s scrap metal.

The will sell the crap piece by piece for big money

@@Pavel-ey1qb it really was worldwide in its scale. The war in the east was absolutely huge and fought on huge fronts, and it’s not a huge surprise that so many things are being found regularly from the Baltic to the old Turkish frontier and everywhere behind and around. Countless people still lie buried where they fell all over the place, equipment, weapons, ammunition etc etc. even in my part of the world, where no actual land battles were fought, all sorts of things from the war lie around. There is a former RAF base used also by coastal command for anti submarine planes less than a mile from my house, and five miles from me are remnants of the pontoons and metalwork from the construction of the mulberry harbours used during operation overlord. Crashed planes, german and allied, still lie in the hills and forests close by, and numerous ship and submarine wrecks are just off the shoreline. We in Britain were very fortunate that the land fighting didn’t visit us on our shores like our European neighbours. A devastatingly sad and catastrophic period for the world, it took so much from so many people, all for the greed and hatred of a few people

I’d like to think so. Or maybe they managed to make an emergency landing and walk away.

No

@@WWII_METAL_DETECTING you burry it back in dirt then?

@@muhammad5379 I doubt that - no RU-vid views for a video like that ...sigh

@@hellomcflyy ok

@@WWII_METAL_DETECTING yes sir 😃 But the Right Location , village, City i mean :)

A lot of finds they discover to spare any further finds whether it be human remains etc. are kept disclosed for a reason. If anyone else comes into the location w/o a permit and / or permission from the land owner, etc. is looking to be fined or jailed. These people obviously have the proper permits and permission to locate their areas of long past battles, find and salvage what the law allows for specific museums. If remains are found, families still living, if any, not knowing what happened, are given specifically save able items, dog tags or the like, and the human remains are buried with honor and dignity. There are still a lot of missing out there still waiting to be found that have no name, no proper place to rest, and no family to claim them that may or may not still be alive. Many of these men were young, not wed, and were possibly an only child or had parents that one could have been an only child as well. The scenario is quite wide in retrospect. I just hope that the men who flew this plane either walked away or their remains were found and given the proper burial they deserve. No matter who's side, anyone was on fighting during those years during WWII. They all deserve honor and dignity when they finally get laid to rest.

Totally agree,a proper archeologist/expert would have had that briefcase forensically examined over a proper length of time and care instead of having the shit ripped out of it in a few minutes..a time capsule lost forever.. FFS

The crew somewhere in the swamp ate frogs, super people did not fly home and this pleases.😂🤣😂

I read that metal detecting in Russia and Belarus is highly restricted. I assume this lot have some sort of permit, or else they are poking around on the sly, and just leaving whatever they dig up behind. The topic drives traffic for videos and income.
