An amateur #archeologist's dream
But it's quite depressing
A #Ukrainian digging a #trench somewhere on the #frontlines of the #UkraineWar, they find a rusty #Soviet PPSh-41, a submachine #gun, a #WW2 #relic
Probably from another trench, dug in the same spot, by another Ukrainian, 80 years ago
Fighting #historical German ethnofascism. While today his grandson fights contemporary Russian #ethnofascism
So much suffering
All of it pointless stupid folly of malicious vain men
@benroyce I live in Eastern England which was on the WW2 frontline.
We are *still* regularly unearthing #UXO everywhere especially when there is construction work or when folk are exploring the coast, places get evacuated and EOD (Explosives Ordnance Disposal) has to make the area safe, all this 80 years later in supposed peacetime and there's a non-zero change war in Europe will escalate in the remainder of my lifetime..
something americans have no conception of
do you think?
i originally thought so too, but by its length i thought: "no, can't be, it just has to be a stick or root"
but it does resemble the top of a femur there
and perhaps some of the dirt hides the articulation of the knee, so that rather than a continuous whole, what we see exposed further down is the tibia
yikes
you might be right
