Excavation of bottles on the Karelian Isthmus

[Den]

Hello
I am fond of military archeology on the Karelian Isthmus.
I have a lot of photos.
I dig Finnish garbage pits on the first line of defense in 1941-1944.
If interested, I can show. What topic I do not know.
I apologize for my English, this is a google translator)

This is right place to put pictures of class and porsline. And im sure, there is lots of people interest to see!

This is a small part of my photos summer 2018.
I collect Finnish bottles and dishes.

My collection of ceramic caps.
All dug out of the ground

I collected it myself. In addition to the kettle. I have not yet found a kettle, I had to buy. The rest dug up everything.

Traveled today in the forest under St. Petersburg.
A lot of snow. Find something hard. But I found.
Very little and not interesting! I will look further

[Den]

There are two rare bottles in the collection.
Mark of two different manufacturers
Made in the 30s
W - Viiala
K - Karhula

Not a bottle) But an interesting thing.
To keep a matchbox made of artillery shells.

I do not know why some soldier threw in the trash. Excellent condition, silver.
The inscription in Swedish if I'm not mistaken - Memory

Hi Den

Nice items. Could you put a close-up picture of a perforated metal plate on the right?

[Den]

Hello Vilippus.
Separately, a photo of this pridmet not. I did not take it, threw it back into the pit and buried it.
From the photo you can see that a lot of telephone cables. I think that the soldiers who lived there were making connections.

[Den]

Once I dug a metal box. Full of empty bottles. It is a pity that they did not leave at least one whole bottle of vodka It was a soldier's fridge.

Sometimes I travel far.
Here is a trip to Alakurtti 1500 km from home.

[Den]

I am looking for soldiers who went missing during the war. What would then bury them with military honors. For this, I have a special permit.

I have nothing to say about those findings but its nice that you are here in this forum, sometimes we need someone behind border, with items from russia and help with russian language.

Thank Fineler !
New season begins. The snow completely melted. Starting the excavation. I will show new photos.

Here is this interesting thing, a plastic ruler. The soldier left his signature on it. Some words are written in very small letters. I think he wrote them with a needle. He described his combat path.
Maybe not quite the correct translation, correct me. It would be interesting to know the fate of the soldier.
Here is the inscription.


O.Hassi
On saapunut 14.7-41 19 KTR I.KPK 3087 (19 regiment of field artillery)
31.7-41 Haarukassaensikeran (battle way)
3.8- 41 Rajalla (went to the old border)
21.8-41 Yli Vuoksen (crossed the river Vuoksu)
14.8 kurnutusta (no translation ???? )
3.9-41 Vanhalla Rajalla (passed the old border)

Here is another interesting thing. This is a tag that was sewn onto a backpack with things.
When I take things with an inscription, I kind of return to the past.

kersantti (Sergeant)
E. Järvenpää
KPK2 (2 battalion)
6523 (field mail number)

Old photo. This is my friend, he participates in rally racing. Came to my rescue. Winch pulled the anvil from the pit.

[Den]

Here we have such come across. This is a rocket from "Katyusha"
German soldiers called them "Russian Ivan" very large caliber.
Now he is disarmed by sappers and is in a museum.

[Den]

Today dug


Soldier’s personal number


I think the soldier wanted to create a photo.


In the other place.

[Den]

The soldier wrote something, but I can't read.
If someone reads write !!!
