The Serpent's Wall


"60 years ago Kiev's area witnessed some of the most severe battles of WW2. Covered with earth from explosions humans, arms and ammunitions were left on the battlefields.

With entering this site, you will join me and my friends visiting historic places of battles. We don't take standard trips with their boring guides, we take shovels, detectors and plenty of water. Water because the only way to find something is to dig and when you dig, you drink. You drink a lot because once you find a relic you can't stop digging, you know, it is real, it was there in the time of a great event and you know that next item can be this special one worth all you efforts."

Redleg: This Video Is For You


WWII German Captured T34 Tank Recovered



"Kurtna Matasjarv was a child when he saw that German soldiers are driving into the lake with the tank. That was in the middle of September in 1944. After 56 years later Kurtna tells his story to the local history club. In February the club starts to dig out the tank, and a half years later the tank was freed with a Komatsu D375A-2 ( as you see). After a little cleaning in the motor room, the tank engine starts to work after 56 years. Sorry for my bad English."
