I can't get this to translate, good photos and excellent souvenirs. Looks like swamp preserved most of it.

Watch out for the 60+ year old hand gernades. TH

Good point Lugerdoc, best not to practice juggling with those

Sure is a cool find..
I was once told about a place where an Harley Davidson bike where dug down into swamp during the war, to keep it away from the germans. But I can't remember where. Probably not true, but would be worth a check..
