john choose powers house. oh god. it's faith the suitcase was handed over to the brandon, the branch of the german wal grades commission for all of it, but i'd hoped and catch them cops. it's like opening a time capsule. a travel alarm clock. it contains extremely personal items worn and weathered by time. some bad, the oven is name, they smell of us and death. if you look and the fewer knows, only struggle work and worrying until our role is to relieve him of as much as those as best we can who was the recipient of these lattice and who might still be waiting for an answer. as far as i want to see how things are yeah,

i hadn't been back since the attack ended all look so dreadful. now to this of the main square is unrecognizable for the coordinator. you to that is the, that's a brief description of what dressed and looked like. there was an early april 1945, the most people, the year 1945 is history. but to all of up when i talked, it's like the present day. i'm thinking of the alarm clock, it's all a question of time because you forget the present and travel back with all those images created over the course of a lifetime. when you immerse yourself in the subjects your head gets filled with the images that keep taking you back. and when you read something like that letter isn't due, then it says if time is standing still in that side. so what type like the student the suitcase put on to answer punishment. 1945 times one was a pasta in the hans mountains. shortly off to the 2nd world war,

he visited relatives in holland and brandon, by following the battle in and around the town in april 1945, 40000. what? buried in local forests, fields and from the ons ties meant us to be transferred to hobo way. he began listing these makeshift graves with the help of the judge regional authorities and local businessman, the created permanent and dignified, resting places for the phone, and it became one of jim and his launches cemeteries for the casualties of war. perhaps the items in the suitcase belonged to someone buried in the cemetery. they might also have a special significance for someone still alive vehicles now to the nitty gritty. most of the don't times belonging to members of the old german army registered in the federal. all kinds in bel in this is a 1st concrete lee. yeah. i was. that's why 2 soldiers to evidently killed

departments, only one half of the tag. the set to look, you have the other half would be left on the body. i'm talking i can read this later today i received my husband's identification, tugged a i n and a notebook website, which probably did not belong to him. some customers. oh my, this must have gotten really well. look, this is a soldiers pay board that you'll see. mazda holds up to the photo and so these are his promotions to ss squad later for head squad, leader workshop and senior squad leader would flush the photo. wow. with his name and photo the as, as was originally hitler's baltic on bunch of old things that i bought from the s

as a lead to combat falls, notorious for countless atrocities during the war. with his mind about the hordes apple, he also commit to crimes. there's another half of an id tag in the suitcase, comment back. this is, this is from the 6th best yog, documented or human, meaning it's an ss tag which was split as officially required is, can we get 10 volt is presumably these are holds up as a personal effects footboards are furthest and presumably he'd be listed in the rank cards every year about 35000 people contact the walgreens commission. still in search of missing relatives. for one of up, when i talked searches by any living relative, he could give the as, as pay both to

the, to this day there was still people buried in the battlefield. so to who are registered as missing your walking, consult sky works for the brunt about walgreens commission and recovers corpses across germany as again well, i know these are supposed to be one over there. and then there's another site behind those with the 2nd buddy jones with them, but it always starts with a single boon moment. i'm kind of run northeast and sort of the, the main well, often hastily buried frank with a died. but the wall graves commission make sure that they finally get a proper grain if possible, an identity for the month. there's been a body lying here for almost 80 years, some bones and remains every uniform we discovered here by a crew working on

a new bike. the, the bank of football and began here near the village of zeno in april 1945 more than a 1000000. soviets in german soldiers engaged in a blog post last thing of a full days, and claiming close to 100000 lives. the face of many remains on known to this day. as i mentioned, i do this because there are people waiting for information about those missing research even includes my own family, if someone from your funeral findings. so determining as many identities as possible. there's a help to take them a 1st time cleaning time. if not, you know, to do as if you had mentioned you all came across a long sky hopes to be able to identify yet another fallen soldier today.

but somebody gives us a duty. so we're guessing to the crucial area where we usually find the id tagging smart if he was wearing one close to the still racks area we can towards boyfriend, which we think otherwise, it's on the chain. they could also be lying by the scope and 9 of them. this is a positive as upper job working for the. so here we have about the on the top of the full born september 9th, 1917, and these go in the upper salisia. next step is to ask about the lutheran cemetery there in poland to put towards i can't find a date of birth for volunteer holds up to the shop. okay. what's that one of up when i talk needs that date of birth in order to determine who the descent and saw it. is here born on september 20th 1929,

161929. would indeed mean he would only have been 16 at his time. of death, dss is known to visited schools to recruit boys as young as 14. as the wall progressed, they 2 was sent into battle. might develop to hold sample to being one of those boys. each item raises new questions. questions about a time as con inch in chaos when a young man likes bound to hold separately, put a photo like this in his surface book. it shows a ditch with dead people, evidently, members at the bottom as, as. why would a 16 year old have such a photo on him? the territories, to sort of the only explanation i have is my belief that work and bring out the best and a person leading to acts of heroism. you have enough to side,

but also the absolute worst. and the most part there is to and then get enables us to surrender to the lowest of human instincts, instinct and even with political legitimacy issue. and that's what gone on for the additional you too much. so you all seem comfortable. sky is still taking out the past around zillow, looking for clues to the identity of the data individual. was not yet in the mind. st. we'll need to dig a bit deeper here later. yeah, call me here the here you can see is new joint. well, i'll just get these to pieces like 1st to see if there are no personal items with a name among the bones. finding out who died here is often possible by looking at the metal identification tag. this will nothing. and that can those market the mental talk like that makes it

proper signal. we'll see what else turns up. suddenly he comes across a mountain cable running right through the pelvic bone. so he's not the only one to be digging here. recently. this flip, this is bad unless you can forget it. besides this, as long as it means that whatever was finding here is being thrown away from american or maybe there was even an id tag which is presumably in private hands. no, it's so well because i mean that's appalling with the helm. it has being preserved with a sizable hole in it, suggesting it was a quick death. within the non, sometimes you can still find a name written on the leather inside the helmet. nothing. this one, the skeleton is almost complete,

but all clues to the identity of the person unc on this. i think some of it, i think it's in a humane and disgusting, but it doesn't surprise me. it's been all discussion 75 years after the war. and you see this in different on like this, that's where it begins and people looking away because of the tone every year, about 200 new bodies from the re buried in holland. the brand and well brain commission takes care of the cemetery, presenting memories for future generations. the guns, i hope you have all of europe lying here in the 4th frenchman, ukrainians, russians, belgians, dutchman and poles. on a call side by side here. yeah. because they handle those who went through these gates carried within the greatest, sorry, the greatest pain, greatest hope, the greatest peyton lindsay's title. but there were also some who learned nothing

from history. almost like a sister now by slit. the youngest, known victim in the cemetery was only a day old. now the oldest is 96 years younger, versus on skin. about 18000000 miles one last and the 2nd, while all the, as in susan hines, narrow between one and 25 dead under each grapes down us. so we estimate the total number today and 152028000 debt and the cemetery today wants his toes and pull off at the end and how the symmetry will remain on the forever. the codes are 2 weeks on known war casualty is paying last respect to this person. he's a man with no name. there's no remembrance says, what is this done? i need to enter the another

suitcase full of homes. perhaps its contents can provide a name for one of those who remain anonymous. i talked believes he has identified a village from one of the photos by an owner in the fonts mountains. that's prompted a visit from paychex a month. he knows the old soldiers burial grounds in that area and might be able to match up the photographs, letters and the pay book. the home go from the we found the service book of a young s. s member and doing containing of photographs, your car. within the very young chat by the name of the hotel and the whole thing. and i'm hoping that he's one of the unknown who are re buried from dry on and hold on. go back to the phones in idaho,

it's up for the latest. and this could be the crucial thing we've found in denture in an envelope marked passenger tyson on that site and which a taste when done comedies. when i came across your article on the internet, talk to where you talk about a denture, i was thinking go to the adventure is hardly unusual when done the funds and then there were these items folded inside a sheet of paper. these are this, this list j is might look familiar to you to help you become and these original photos on places ok, no photos. page 11 wrote a book covering the last days of the war around the town of indigo holder. at its center is kind of cool stuff. pay train considered to save you, of indigo, to having refused orders to defend the area against the advancing americans. he's

coverage cost him his life. the s as executed him in the woods. but no one knows exactly where his remains are buried. presumably, together with all the soldiers and st types, one a pasta in the hans mountains at the time trying to give the bear its soldiers a more dignified great sight. he was able to place 5 no names on a tip. the cross is one cross at the inscription on note, while the last 2 memorial crosses, without any human remains underneath them. one of those was the colonel page, say 1956. the bodies would move to a symmetry in duncan bulk. in the process of list was compiled, defined items found with the dead. it included attention and they were also more remains of unknown sandwiches. it's kind of course it could all just be

a giant coincidence with someone simply emptying the whole shelf of a cupboard into the suitcases and not caring about where everything came from. it's kind of all side, perhaps type on, kept these things in the suitcase on purpose, posterior. everything connected to the men who failed and try on an owner for 900 thing for being able to bring the home that we found this a couple that showed us to as the 2 men examined the photos and compare the names and the cases contents with lists from the hans mountains and across relics and devotional object to but i didn't pay dilemma and makes an initial assessment to me. i think the idea was for the speculative, but because none of the names on the list appear to have any connection to tie on an owner in the, in the sun. what have been exciting. that's via the village by them give you is doesn't have to do it right. but staying with the speculations, the we're dealing with the 6 on known soldiers. so what if it turns out that these

remains belong to those 6 who were subsequently re buried 2 bits of voting. that would explain type on being in possession of these remains and artifacts and the soldiers were buried as unknown. and he took those things to pass the monitor prior to his lack relocating remains. you're asking because a lot of skis, 12 us in the german army. as a paramedic, he faced injuries and fatalities in the present day. now he's dealing with dance for many decades ago. chapel from time to time, i have some contact with relatives on they come to burial services. and often they'll bring a photo and say, call. this is how he wants to live with the ones on which on the muscles are the dollars. now it's really moving the

once a year to newly excavated a buried and one of the wall cemeteries that they all ground to that final resting place with dignity. most or i looked at the birth date. and some of them were 17 or 18 when they died. i will come so i know that they didn't even know what they were doing there. and they were born and died as human beings born. not to mention the via to, if you to it's not my job to see who was a perpetrator or a victim. the job. i think goodness, we wants to keep the memory alive. there is nothing worse than this looking away. and the difference that we see every day in our society take them outside to coming to absolute anti or advocate. the owner of at lighthouse is looking for

information in the federal, all kinds in balance. how do you, ex, i've cleared this space especially for your suitcase so we can take a look. i phone. can you just restart his email? i already gave you a brief rundown of the story 2 days ago. so he's previously solved a range of mysteries. he had to get uh with august the date of birth control and for didn't see that it got down to it. so it's a soldier's pay book or something you would be interested in. that doesn't, doesn't get to what happened developed to hold site for the 16 year old s. s officer who live. unfortunately, the photo is quite blurry. he me, freshman, you know, my system and there's another one that holds up to the vital it's so it's up to you . how can you tell me some of his particulars? and there i have something to show you on hold something to call. yes. um, hold on

a sec, let me see this might even with you, honey. we did find him a lot of things that we have no record of whether he's deceased bishop. unfortunately, we also have no record of whether he was killed in action by on fits or what happened to him after 43 years. now it's different. the own kind of supports the fact it's recorded in his of his book whether he was shown, test design to or dieting combat will remain a mystery. but one thing is clear from the files vault to hold sample was born not a 1929, but 1922. he made himself a younger possibly to save his own life. but today's meeting is also about examining all the objects from the suitcase. i'm comfortable with and there was

also an on below with identification tags and the suitcase event and maybe they can all be assigned to hold. so that's going, that was my assumption. and this is the reception company to the yes. and this is a light tank on to hudson. yes. what you already sent me some scans. so we have them deciphered hot and actually found some information on them on compensation for my to and that's what we're for. who, the one who's the man's name was corporal funds solve a bushing, a stops, could fly item in his civilian life. he was a mechanic g, a hobby. it says here that he fell on the 18th of april. 1945, near di, on an horner in the hearts mountains and st. tyson on yukon. the notice came from anne's tyson on the past. are you mentioned earlier when you're thinking them? and my guess is that mr. ties months. collect at the items in this suitcase after overseeing the burial of the soldiers with the start to top him just

a load of otherwise you wouldn't have had the dog tags or half of it. gradually, some of the mystery is coming to light. when we have more reports on his passing, his former burial place was outside the dry and in haunted cemetery to read buried in a close cemetery. france, sab, posting a, is buried next to 49, others in the front of the cemetery. so a large part of the items could be from the soldiers, spelt a horde sample to is among beyond the dead. and perhaps the letters and lots of times will find the recipient soft or a medium 18 years off to a well written. that will now be the task of the federal all kinds

back and how the that is being further progress. a colleague of all of applied help recognized a seal in print that was on the bottom that the suitcase, the seal belong to ends from blue. so that is being handed over to his family. dashed on foot there. sure spoke he was in touch with mister funded list of the sister for that. and suddenly she opened up and wrote to him about her memories from 1945. from one feel it's easy. does it are seated during thank you for your e mail about the discovery of the ceiling print, which was very moving for me as forced and i can barely remember my brother comes he was 10 years older but as a witness amongst a dentist, i told him told us as of the condition because he can call them and i can finish rest on the bottom yet. latasha to the present. couple of them put them on the,

on the 10th 1902 on sunday. he did such as president is just for me tonight. and so i can talk to the system to please get eaten either coast me from this, the dentist is 19 jeep search to see the 9 since you've seen the

here. so stay plastic one is non pines. most practical inventions is threatening to suffocate its creation. but there is hope that we can get a grip on plastic pollution house. let's have a look. tomorrow today, the dw, the

we are all set and with what seemed close to him to bring use a story behind the news. we rolled about unbiased information. all 3 might get ready for an exciting. i didn't tell you to look surprised. hi, i wish up and i'm ready to dive into the hands of gentlemen to you. have you have a window to start in either front porch deposits on the spot and unexpected side to side. enjoy. sometimes a seat is all you need to allow big ideas to grow. we're bringing an environmental conservation to life with learning past like global ideas. we will show you how climate change and environmental conservation is taking shape around the world

and how we can make a difference. knowledge grows through sharing, download it now for the open, the lid for in the hot water and enjoy all that's left afterwards is the packaging. what do we do with all the plastic weight? or could we manage without plastic the welcome to tomorrow to date, the science show on dw eagles has been a favorite for decades. the japanese version is especially popular among young people. it's known as rom and a super fast.
