It seems that the Victims like old ordnance will keep coming up as a reminder of the war.

Mass grave of possible Nazi victims uncovered at German construction site

I can't find the link now, but I read yesterday that they thought the remains pre-dated WWII.

 

Oh thats never good for construction.

 

Either way it isn't good LOL. I havent been able to find anything else on it.

 

sad either way, Nazi victims or not.

 

I read that the site housed a military hospital in the 1870s. The graves could have been casualties of the Franco-Prussian War and not the result of any type of atrocity.
These authorities state they could have been victims of a typhoid epidemic in 1814.

Tests suggest bodies at German building site date from long before World War II - International Herald Tribune

 

Hmm I'd be interested in the results of the Carbon14 tests. I'd say Naponleanic wars (1814) rather than the Franco Prussian war of 1870-1870. The 1870 fights were more in the Lorraine area, the 1814 fights almost everywhere...

 

Thanks for the additional info. I would like to see the results too.
