Sad Memories of War

A worker holds a German World War II helmet during an excavation at a former military German cemetery near the village of Kononovka, some 250 km (155 miles) east of Minsk, November 10, 2010. 6616 German soldiers, killed during World War II, were re-buried in Belarus during 2010, a local official from the German War Graves Commission said. texag57
