Digging up the Dead: volunteer groups

Glad to hear you had a good time Kate.

And look forward to seeing the update on the web site.

Cheers Mike.

 

Kate thank you for the update

Clive

 

Thanks Kate. Very emotional.

Stefan.

 

Kate

Rewarding task to recover the dead and give them dignified resting places.

Incidentally can you illustrate a map to indicate the area where your work is being undertaken?

An interesting note regarding the missing in the Sudetenland.I would have thought that the casualty would have been recorded on the VDKG Kassel database possibly as an unknown.

 

Harry,

this may help.

Thank you all for your appreciation!

Harry, the map Stefan posted shows approx. where we dig - there's further info in the presentation posted somewhere above.
What missing do you mean, by the way? Have I missed something?

...I must have been very tired yesterday, forgot to post the link to the Panther Battalion book.
It's in German and English - and a great piece of research!

 

VDKG Database? Is there a link to that?

 

Found the site. No luck there.

 

Here's a short report by the AFN on a dig in the Westwall area about a month ago. Enjoy

Finally the website has been updated as well (not the English version though, sorry).
It's worth a look, especially because we were supported by, well, a professional drone operator, who took some amazing pictures. There's also a short clip from a Russian news report.
You'll find it all here.

 

Thanks for the update Kate.

Cheers Mike.

 

well done Kate

Here's an article in the Stars & Stripes on the dig in the Westwall area I wrote about earlier - in English, yay!
Enjoy

 

Congratulation Kate.

Stefan.

 

Well done Kate

Clive

 

Thank you!

 

Kate have the VBGO any plans to work in the Baltic States , Estonia and Latvia ?

 

I think no specific plans at the moment, but generally yes. We've been there (though that was before my time). Do you have any suggestions?

 

Send me a signed photo Kate your famous congratulations

Mike

 

I have worked for many years with groups working for the VB and Russian war Graves in the Baltics , Estonia in particular and it would be great for us to work with the VBGO if you have any plans to go there !
