New German WW2 dump area discovered at "Durchgangslager Hangö"

The trial excavations are progressing according to schedule. Today 5 students from Hankoniemen Lukio joined our team for the rest of the week. The finds are mounting too which is a good thing for the participating history class students. Many of them will be working with different themes surrounding the soldiers daily life in the camp.

Today the students unearthed a previously unknown German WW2 dump area, apparently quite rich in finds. The following two days will probably be very interesting indeed.
