The remnants of numerous Nazi casualty victims, who were interred in Poland.

In the last three years, the Institute of National Remembrance (IPN) unearthed remains in what's infamously known as the "Valley of Death" in northern Poland. This area saw the brutal slaughter of Polish civilians during World War II. Over six million Poles, with half being Jewish, lost their lives during the German occupation from 1939 to 1945.

IPN representative Andrzej Pozorski shared with AFP that they uncovered five mass graves, containing over 700 sets of remains. He assured, "We'll make every effort to identify these individuals."

Archaeologist Dawid Kobialka elaborated further, indicating that the remains belonged to victims from 1939. Remains of victims from 1945 were also discovered, being no larger than 1-5 centimeters in size. Kobialka stated, "We've unearthed nearly a ton of them." Apart from ammunition and bullets, approximately 7,000 other artifacts were found, including personal belongings of the deceased.
