Found this by way of a few car message forums. Looks like a very intersting find.

Pics are interesting, but the guy offering money for the Iron Cross is downright wrong & offensive. Be like finding an a/c wreck with the remains in it, and stealing the dogtags...

I completely agree... just a dopey car message board. :wink:

Atleast the person that discovered the grave was intelligent enough understand the importance of what he found.

The person that found them seems like a pretty decent fellow.

I can understand why he wouldn't want to keep the Iron Cross or Nazi knife though.

I think the award and knife should be reburied with their owner- Finding such items on a battlefield, and keeping them is one thing- the other is grave robbery, and appalling.

I wasn't able to see the pics, but that was one of the most UNINTELLIGENT threads i've read. I'm shocked but not supprised by that. "LETS ALL RACE OUR IMPORTS AND LISTEN TO LINKIN PARK!"

Yup looks like the pics are no longer there.

I'll edit the first post.

There were some real rocket scientists in that thread. :roll:
