Amazing what you can find in the ground.

Interesting site.
Does the next to last photo on this link really show what I think?

Yes it does. Not what I like to see but it happens during recoveries.

By the way it has nothing to do with this Ju87 recovery - the pilot was a Russia who was recovered from his Hurricane in the arctic tundra. Won't go into details but the coroner was amazed at his preservation.

The Il-2 recovery on a Russian site listed a page or two back has the soviet pilot being rolled out of the puddle but nothing shown thankfully.

If you like tanks/military vehicles you need to go through the listed years.some amazing tank recoveries - T34, Stug3, KV-1, half tracks - nearly all from Eastern Europe.

Amazing time capsules some of these and not surprising there are teams looking for Tiger I's which supposedly will get the asking price of 1million $ if complete!

I'm pretty sure that it is.........is it my imagination or is it still with flying helmet and parachute? I wonder if there is any ID tag that could assist with ID for German War Graves people - or whether info has already been passed on?

A very interesting and well presented site nonetheless.

The picture of the pilot is not German but Russian and has nothing to do with the Ju87 dig.

From a Norwegian friend in 2003.

Hurricane Z2768 of 768 IAP PVO. Pilot Sgt Boris Aleksandrovich Lazarev. Shot down by Bf 109 of 6./JG 5 40 km N Loukhi. Wreck and remains of pilot found August 1998 by search group "Vysota" (Viktor Dudin). Sgt Lazarev (born 1921) put to rest at a war memorial at Chupa, Karelia. Wreck recovered to the Central War Historical Museum (TsVIM) at Poklonnoj near Moscow.
