Archaeologists Find A Lock Box Buried Deep In The Mud, With Some Truly Disturbing Contents
Apparently a buried cache was found in Russia of a Nazi soldier cache, with uniform, ID, various items including several boxes of cigars Jamaican rum and so on. If authentic, and not fake news, it would be an interesting data point on how long this box lasted with intact contents and what the person felt was something they wanted to cache.
If authentic, maybe the owner deserted, or wanted to go incognito on retreat. Maybe it was a spy's stash box. I saw no mention of weapons. I would think that if it was a soldier that there would be weapons and ammo - which makes me question the authenticity. But why else would someone bury something like this if it wasn't from the WWII era?
