The fates of more than one million German soldiers and civilians who went missing at the end of World War II remain a question for historians and archivists. However, recently discovered mass graves may shed some light on the stories behind their lives.
A mass grave of Wehrmacht soldiers that dates back to World War II was found in South Ossetia, Russian media reported. Workers digging a foundation pit for a house came across human remains, and immediately called in police officers and search teams.
“We lifted up the remains of about five Wehrmacht soldiers, [we found] two mortal medallions. Clearance is still going on, so maybe there will be more. [We] come across tokens, cartridges and personal items: combs, buttons”, said Murat Tsakhilov, a representative of the ‘Duty and Honour’ search squad.
The soldiers’ “dog tags” could possibly be used to identify the men. Their remains are expected to be sent to a German military cemetery, while their uniforms and personal belongings are set to be transferred to Russian museums.
According to officials from the German Red Cross, about 1.3 million soldiers and civilians who disappeared at the end of World War II remain missing. The researchers often rely on German and Soviet archives and tracking systems to determine their fates.

Early in World War II, the Communist delighted in the opportunity to indulge in their favorite sport of mass murder. During the first days of the war, 15,000 Polish officers, who were the flower of the nation, were captured. They were taken to three Jewish operated Communist camps, Starobiesk, Kozielsk, and Ostashkov. Only 448 were ever seen alive again. The rest vanished, but not without trace. The Kozielsk camp was situated in the grounds of a former Orthodox monastery, five miles from the Kozielsk railway station in this camp, about 5000, were sent away in small groups, the process continuing until April, 1940. Parfeon Kisselev said that in the spring of 1940 prisoners were brought to Katyn Forest in three or four buses daily. From his house he heard shots and shouts. It was rumored that 10,000 Poles were shot there. When the German Army occupied the area in 1943 an investigation was begun. The Final Report of the German Police dated June 10, 1943, states that,
“It was proved that, without exception, death was caused by a shot in the back of the neck. The seven mass graves of murdered Polish officers which have been cleared, cover a relatively small area. From the translation of diaries, of memoirs and other notes found with the bodies, it was proved that the officers who had been taken prisoner by the Soviet Army in 1939 were sent to various camps: Kozielsk, Starobielsk, Ostashkov, Putiviel, Bolotov, Pavlishcev Bor, Shepyetovka, Gorodok. The majority of those killed in Katyn Forest had been in the Kozielski camp. From the end of March, until the first day of May, 1940, the prisoners from Kozielsk arrived by rail. The exact dates cannot be established. A few short intervals apart, a batch left almost every day; the number of prisoners varied between 100 and 300 persons … Thence, in the early morning, the prisoners proceeded in special lorries to the Katyn Forest. There the officers were immediately shot, thrown into the waiting graves and buried, as may be seen from the evidence of witness Kisselev, who has seen the ditches being prepared. That the shooting took place immediately after the arrival of a batch of prisoners is proved by witnesses who heard shots after every such arrival. There was no accommodation in the forest apart with the rest house, which has a limited capacity. From the position of the bodies it may be assumed that the majority were murdered outside the graves. Very many of the dead men had their hands tied behind their backs. The evidence of witnesses confirms that access to the forest was forbidden. Voss, Secretary of the Field Police.”
Professor Butz’s Report stated, “Documents found on the victims (identity cards — but not military passports — diaries, letters, postcards, calendars, photographs, drawings, etc. gave the names, age, profession, origin and family relations of the victims. Pathetic entries in the diaries testify to the treatment of the victims by the NKVD. Letters and postcards from relatives in Upper Silesia, in the ‘General Government’ and in the Russian-occupied zone, written, to judge the post office stamps, between Autumn, 1939, and March or April, 1940, clearly point to the time of the crime (spring, 1940).”
The Katyn Case came before the Nuremberg tribunal as part of the general trial of German “war criminals”, the Soviets having claimed this atrocity had been committed by the Germans. Although it was on the agenda, the Soviets omitted it from the judgement, nor was any Pole allowed to testify about it. Mr. G.F. Hudson wrote in the quarterly, “International Affairs”, “the unquiet dead of Katyn still walk the earth.” In subsequent years, a number of Congressmen have sought to reopen the case, including Hon. George A. Dondero, Hon. Ray Madden and others. A U.S. Congressional Select Committee, 2 July 1952, reported that “The committee unanimously agrees that evidence dealing with the first phase of its investigation proves conclusively and irrevocably that the Soviet NKVD (People’s Commissariat of Internal Affairs) committed the massacre of Polish Army officers in the Katyn Forest near Smolensk, Russia, not later than the spring of 1940. The committee further concludes that the Soviets had plotted this criminal extermination of Poland’s intellectual leadership as early as the fall of 1939 — shortly after Russia’s treacherous invasion of the Polish nation’s borders. There can be no doubt that this massacre was a calculated plot to eliminate all Polish leaders who subsequently would have opposed the Soviets’ plan for communizing Poland.”
The end of World War II gave the Communists the opportunity to wreak revenge on all who had opposed them during the war. As a result, from two to five million victims were massacred by Jewish terrorists in France, Italy, Czechoslovakia, and other countries in which the Communists were allowed by their Allies to murder at will all anti-Communists or “Fascists”. The Sunday Oklahoman shed some light on this horror, Jan. 21, 1973.

Bring their remains back to Germany. Thank Churchill and Eisenhower for handing them over to the Reds.
The Jew controlled Goyim (Jew speak for cattle) of Jew controlled Britain and America who fought against National Socialist Germany were slimy traitors who destroyed the greatest country and people in Europe. As my brother said:”National Socialist European Soldiers, the greatest heroes of World War Two,”
Trump is planning to move 9,500 American troops from Germany. They should never have been in Germany or Europe in the first place and they only occupied Europe because they fought on the wrong side. They should have been on the side of National Socialist Germany from the start instead of on the side of communist Russia. If America had been allied to National Socialist Germany in 1939 there would have been no second world war. Well done Trump. Trump for 2020. Americans should read Captain Archibald Ramsay’s brilliant book: THE NAMELESS WAR and discover how the bankers turned the democracies against Christian Germany in order to allow Stalin to win the war in Europe. Captain Archibald Ramsay served in Neville Chamberlain’s Government until May 1940 and was arrested on Churchills orders and imprisoned without trial for the duration of the war. Churchill was a traitor who destroyed Britain and its Empire.
National Socialist Soldiers, the greatest heroes of world war two.
