PS ! Paul !

Only I know is that LW had a large Store in this Forrest under the War . This is about 2 KM from the place I live . Area is about 2000 x 500 meters .

The first shown item I can find a lot of on every storage area . German filed up with Sand and made storage plates about 10 x 15 meters . It was most Bombs that was stored from small Bombs to large 1000 Kilos Bombs . I have pics taken in the area just after the War ended , showing UK Soldiers watching the area .

A friend of mine has a Aluminium Belt Buckle from teh area , this one showed up on the mascine when they was taken up Potatos , some Years ago .

And here is a man sitting on a 1000 kg Bomb in this area . Today He is 95 Years old , but still going strong .

That is amazing stuff, Jan. Was the man in the photo in the military or is he a local civilian at the time?

Paul

[Jan Arne S]

Hi Paul !

He was a civilian . He lived only some hundred meters from the start of the Road in to the area .

His Family had some of the Forrest the Germans placed the storage on , and he was under the War allowed to go in and find "Wood for heating" in their Forrest , but under guarding of German Soliders .

I also find a lot of what I think can be spare parts for Aircrafts , looks like Electrical Motors or Dynamos . But I will show more of this later .

I bet that he has a lot of interesting stories of things he saw there. I look forward to seeing the photos.

Hi Guys !

Today I was again out with my Minelab Explorer in this area .

And this is what I found . Fallschirmleuchtpatrone Orion .

Not bad condition to have been in ground for over 60 years .

Jan Arne

[Jan Arne S]

Marking on the side .

They also have a "best before" date ???????

Jan Arne

[Jan Arne S]

Maker mark in bottom I think .

[Jan Arne S]

And a strange box marked " Krutt Gulas " .

With a lot of Eastern Europen text on .

Could this one be form Tsjekkia ???

But I have found it in the same area .

And does anyone know what has been in this box ??

The hole box .

PS ! What I thought was an Eletrical Switch , should be an Electrical Delay Ignitor for bombs .
