Report - This was the largest concentration of German Army (WW2) burials we have found in 2021. We went to look for different German burial, but we found these! From the beginning we thought that there must be only around 10 soldiers, after a week we exhumed 14 and realized that there are more. A week later, we received archives from Germany that there might be 30 soldiers there. We organized a big expedition. In the result of which was, we exhumed 64 German soldiers.

🕯️ 109 years later, they are finally laid to rest. The fallen Latvian Riflemen of the Christmas Battles of 1916/1917 have been honored with a proper burial, over a century after their sacrifice. This solemn day reminds us that remembrance has no expiration date. With gratitude and respect, we thank everyone who worked tirelessly to ensure these soldiers received the dignity they were long denied. May they rest in peace. 🇱🇻 piano cover by Toms Mucenieks #latvianriflemen #remembrance #lestwefor

We were prepared to assist the Polish family in their search. While we did identify several G
