Yes, that's true. There are even some groups calling themselves as a 'black diggers', they collect and cell weapons, clothing, medals and even vehicles and airplanes, it's illegal of course and a lot of those groups get caught but it doesn't stop other groups from digging and collecting things. Search youtube for them, you'll see a lot of videos where guys are showing what they've got from battlefields. You can also hear stories about accidents when people die from mines, shells which are still left in wildness (woods, swamps).. Many of those soldiers which where 'missing' after the war, were found only nowadays in those battlefields and brother graves.

I'm totally agree with you, it was a terrible war and hopefully nothing like that will ever happen. I see a lot of people arguing nowadays, who won the war etc.. For me all those disputes are senseless and more provoking, trying to loggerheads.. I think that we ALL won the war TOGETHER, we all suffered from this terrible war, and we all lost our relatives, beloved ones. And I really think that we need to respect all losses that we had back then and we need to stop arguing (particularly USA and Russia), cause I really find it disrespectful to all those solders who fought back then for our peaceful living nowadays.

My best regards
