LUFTWAFFE PILOT'S BRIEFCASE IN THE WRECKAGE OF A Ju 88 BOMBER

[@jeffdurall8353]

It will never cease to amaze me how much stuff is scattered all around and still in this type of condition. Makes you wander just how many years people will be finding this stuff. Thank you for sharing.

[@andrewmacdonald4833]

That suitcase is mind blowing..so have survived 80 odd years out in the open..not to mention a high speed crash...

[@tdsangel]

the lever at 10:52 is for opening and closing some doors - "german "klappe"" has different meanings. those are not the flaps. but for opening and closing any doors of anything 10:55 electric - mechanical unit made by company heinrich in teltow, list 11:02 unit. top left "pull button, right middle: check 13:00 the dirty blue sign warns about oxygenbottles. 13:17 top sign "bombardier", bottom "pilot" persumably the signs for the oxygen bottle supply 13:51 fragments of the trimming-device 14:01 hightmeasurement 14:57 the sign is about "how to connect the RAB"

an area so vast that tanks and planes have been for 70 years amazes me. and the aluminum looks pristine

This is amazing! So we’ll preserved after all those years. Another thing I find amazing is that no one has touched them until now, or is the area so remote that no one has really been there since the war? Where is this? The scale of world war 2 is completely mind blowing, it truly was a global conflict, leaving no part of the countries it was fought in untouched, even in the expanse of its most remote forests by the look of it. Brilliant stuff from this team of people

[@teddysuhrensghost263]

@@Pavel-ey1qb it really was worldwide in its scale. The war in the east was absolutely huge and fought on huge fronts, and it’s not a huge surprise that so many things are being found regularly from the Baltic to the old Turkish frontier and everywhere behind and around. Countless people still lie buried where they fell all over the place, equipment, weapons, ammunition etc etc. even in my part of the world, where no actual land battles were fought, all sorts of things from the war lie around. There is a former RAF base used also by coastal command for anti submarine planes less than a mile from my house, and five miles from me are remnants of the pontoons and metalwork from the construction of the mulberry harbours used during operation overlord. Crashed planes, german and allied, still lie in the hills and forests close by, and numerous ship and submarine wrecks are just off the shoreline. We in Britain were very fortunate that the land fighting didn’t visit us on our shores like our European neighbours. A devastatingly sad and catastrophic period for the world, it took so much from so many people, all for the greed and hatred of a few people

[@joevanseeters2873]

Wow, that's an interesting find. That would have been ccol to see that in person. The Junkers JU-88 was one of the most innovative aircraft of that era and a very effective fighter/bomber/night fighter being one of the most versatile aircraft in the Luftwaffe due to its ability to serve in a multitude of ways including fighter, bomber, and reconnaissance. The JU-88 served through the duration of WWII. Some were taken back to both Britain and America and studied and test flown influencing how aircraft were designed after WWII. The allies were both stunned and impressed at how advanced the JU-88 and further variants were compared to what the Allies had in operation at that time. Both Heinkel and Dornier had similar designed aircraft in operation during WWII. All three companies probably designed their aircraft based on requirements from the Luftwaffe which resulted in very similarly designed aircraft. All of them were very effective and relied upon aircraft for the Luftwaffe.

[@GoViking933]

What an amazing find!! Some of the best preserved paint I’ve seen. A great adventure for these guys, I’m jealous..

[@arnhemseptember2009]

Grat find! Would be fun to lay it out flat on a museums floor and puzzle it together...

[@davidfindlay5014]

This may look like a pile of junk, but to an aircraft restorer this is pure gold! There are very few Ju 88s in existence - the RAF Museum has one and maybe the Swedes or Norwegians or NASM also, but that's about it. This wreck has everything needed to re-create one with fantastic original equipment. I can only hope that this is the plan.😲

[@billkahl1147]

I agree! But those guys don't look to be caring whether or not anything is of use as they are pretty crudely recovering things.

[@andrewmacdonald4833]

@@billkahl1147, that's the big problem...amateurs. And there's no money going into the recovery of these aircraft..certainly not in Eastern Europe.

[@TheWolfsnack]

more like looting the wreckage....

[@bobjohnston8316]

This may break the heart of you restorers, but these guys could also make a fortune punching little oval skin tags out of the remaining skin. People pay good money for the things cut from a scrapyard, say L 1011, so the sky would be the limit for a genuine JU 88 skin tag. Sadly, this wreckage is likely to end up as scrap aluminum. Something like the pilot’s Luger is worth saving to these guys, but beyond that it’s scrap metal.

[@Schlipperschlopper]

I think that is likely to be the Navigators bag rather than pilot, the equipment in the bag is for plotting courses. Bullets marked with red dots are tracer rounds

[@Kaixoadiskide]

Great find! Were any identification numbers for the Ju-88 found? I suspect the crew bailed-out safely.

[@bcarreon6409]

[@georgehollingsworth2428]

That case may well be a Pilit Survival Kit that they had on board for crashes

[@greggd2027]

At 10:09, some of those shells you found look like they have been deformed.. perhaps by the impact of the crash? And I'm guessing the ones marked in red paint are tracers

[@TangoCharlieAlpha]

What do you do with the items that you find? Some of the exterior sheetmetal would look amazing hung on a wall. It would certainly go to honor those that lost their lives in the war, and keep history alive. But I'm not sure what the legality even is on something like that. A lot of what you find is simply astonishing! It looks like it could have been deposited there just recently.

A lot of finds they discover to spare any further finds whether it be human remains etc. are kept disclosed for a reason. If anyone else comes into the location w/o a permit and / or permission from the land owner, etc. is looking to be fined or jailed. These people obviously have the proper permits and permission to locate their areas of long past battles, find and salvage what the law allows for specific museums. If remains are found, families still living, if any, not knowing what happened, are given specifically save able items, dog tags or the like, and the human remains are buried with honor and dignity. There are still a lot of missing out there still waiting to be found that have no name, no proper place to rest, and no family to claim them that may or may not still be alive. Many of these men were young, not wed, and were possibly an only child or had parents that one could have been an only child as well. The scenario is quite wide in retrospect. I just hope that the men who flew this plane either walked away or their remains were found and given the proper burial they deserve. No matter who's side, anyone was on fighting during those years during WWII. They all deserve honor and dignity when they finally get laid to rest.

I read that metal detecting in Russia and Belarus is highly restricted. I assume this lot have some sort of permit, or else they are poking around on the sly, and just leaving whatever they dig up behind. The topic drives traffic for videos and income.
