Chapter 1232: Memories of War

It was the colonel in Lippett's team who explained the origin of the ornaments.

"Wehrmacht?"

"Africa Legion?"

These two unfamiliar names made everyone's brains short-circuited for a moment, and they couldn't help thinking about whether the modern German army has a similar organizational system.

The colonel added: "Rommel the desert fox."

Under the influence of various World War II films, novels and shooting games, even if you are not a military fan, you have heard a little about this thunderous name.

"No way? Why does the Nazi logo appear here?"

Everyone naturally had such questions.

The scholar picked up the few strands of rags remaining between the human skeleton with a knife and looked at them. They looked like military uniforms in terms of color and texture.

The answer is already there, but people still can't believe it.

Everyone scraped the sand around the human skeleton with a folding shovel, and a few similar rags emerged from the sand. One of the rags was still sewn with a golden diamond-shaped logo, but the color was already very dim. It's easy to ignore the past.

The colonel raised his eyebrows and said, "It's the emblem of the 90th Light Division of the African Army."

He pointed to the sand below the human skeleton, "If you continue to dig down, you may find a vw82 barrel truck known as a 'desert light boat' during World War II, or even a Horch 901—of course the possibility of the latter It’s not big, maybe it can continue to drive.”

The colonel rolled up his sleeves eagerly, as if he really wanted to dig.

Even if there is really an off-road vehicle from World War II under the sand, it would be a big project to dig it out completely. There are no bluefly outstanding graduates among them, and others are too lazy to do it, let alone there may not be any.

"It seems that this remains should be a German soldier during World War II, who was buried here for unknown reasons." Scholars came to a conclusion based on the existing clues.

No one refuted.

The female detective took a brush from nowhere, swept the floating sand off the skeleton, and then looked at it carefully.

"There was no obvious trauma to the bones," she said.

Due to the unique climate and geographical conditions of the Egyptian desert, this skeleton was preserved quite completely, just like a human skeleton specimen in a medical school. After death, it was not found by large scavengers, and the skin and muscles were eaten clean by insects and ants. , leaving only clean bones.

Seeing that everyone did not affect his call for truck digging, the colonel felt a little regretful, and said, "It's normal. The German Afrika Korps during World War II couldn't adapt to the harsh environment in North Africa. Diseases spread, and non-combat attrition was quite serious."

"Why did he die here?" someone asked.

"It's not surprising. During World War II, the Allied Powers and the Axis Powers fought a series of large-scale battles around the border between Egypt and Libya. Port Mahru used to be Rommel's battlefield headquarters, and there is now a cave built in the The Rommel Museum here." When it comes to the history of war, the colonel is very fond of it.

"But will it be so close to the south?" someone asked again.

"Well..." The colonel recalled, shaking his head and said: "Probably not, this kind of desert is not conducive to tanks, and has no strategic value. This person is either a deserter, lost his way and ran in the wrong direction, and plunged into the desert, or They were sent to perform special tasks, there is no third possibility."

Everyone knows that the possibility of deserters is not very high, because if you are a deserter, once you escape from the station, you should change the military uniform and the conspicuous emblem, put on civilian clothes, and pretend to be a civilian to avoid being caught back. Once caught, it is certain to die.

Then, this person is likely to be sent to perform special tasks.

Even if it is a special mission, it is impossible to go deep into the desert alone. It is courting death, and it is not James Bond, so he must have companions.

Are there any companions around him who were also buried here?

Everyone didn't want to continue digging, after all, they didn't come here for archaeology, and the World War II period was not considered ancient.

Seeing that everyone is not interested,

The colonel was even more sorry.

Lipett has been silently listening to everyone's discussion, and when he heard the colonel mention the special mission, he stared at the human skeleton thoughtfully, his eyes became brighter.

"Could it be... the place he's going to is the same as ours?" Someone also thought of this possibility.

In the middle and late stages of World War II, Germany fought on multiple fronts and was stubbornly resisted by the Allies.

Many related rumors are convincing - in order to reverse the situation of the war, Germany turned its attention to things other than war, trying to use supernatural power to defeat the United States and the Soviet Union and other countries.

If the rumors are true, Hitler himself may be the biggest magician in modern history, and Lippett is nothing compared to others.

Regardless of whether the rumors are true or not, at worst, Germany also searched for treasures from various countries and shipped them back to its own country to fill the bottomless pit of its war machine. This must be true.

Assuming that Germany learns that there may be treasures buried deep in the desert through some means, it is inevitable that they will not covet them. It is also reasonable to send reconnaissance troops to secretly enter the desert to find them.

The real purpose of the ancient Egyptians to build the pyramids is still unclear, but in the eyes of later generations, the pyramids are the tombs of the pharaohs, and there are usually a lot of treasures hidden in the tombs, and any one taken out is a priceless treasure.

Using treasures to solve the problem of military expenditures is not new in history. Many peasant rebels like to dig the tombs of former emperors.

Zhang Zian said: "Mr. Lipett, we have entered the desert and are grasshoppers on a thread. Now can you disclose some information about your sheepskin map?"

If Lippit can get a sheepskin map that seems to record mysterious locations, then of course the Third Reich, which is a hundred times more powerful than Lippit, may also get it. Who can be sure that there is only one map?

Li Pitt remained calm, "Don't worry, I will definitely let you watch when it's time for you to watch. We just entered the desert and we are still far away from our destination. Don't worry. Now our primary goal is Under the leadership of Barry, proceed as safely as possible."

He refused to explain in detail, and Zhang Zian had nothing to do with him.

"It's getting late, everyone, don't hang around here, go back and rest quickly, it's time for a vigil." Lipett changed the topic.

Most of the people have lost interest in the remains and scattered away.

The scholar recorded the GPS coordinates of the remains, and together with Zhang Zian, buried the bones with sand again.

After completing the task, they still want to return here, take out the remains, try to find out the identity of the remains, and then return the remains to his family, which can be regarded as a memory of the battle of the century.
