Rising from the grave


The amount of materiel left over after World War Two and abandoned in the forests and swamps of Europe is truly staggering. Time and progress has covered up much of what the Germans and others left behind as they advanced or retreated over vast swathes of land.
But metal detectors and the study of old battle-plans can yield some amazing results. Especially in the mainly under-developed regions of Eastern Europe.
