70 Years Since WW2, Bombs And Bodies Still Lie Scattered

LIETZEN, GERMANY - APRIL 17: Joachim Kozlowski, who works for the German Wargraves Commission (Volksbund Deutsche Kriegsgraeberfuersorge) and is tasked with exhuming and reburying German combatants killed during World War I and II, uses chalk to write data on a cardboard coffin at his morgue east of Berlin on April 17, 2015 in Lietzen, Germany. Kozlowski currently has the remains of 123 soldiers in 105 small, cardboard coffins prepared for a burial ceremony later this month. The remains originate mostly from intense fighting between German and Soviet Red Army soldiers in the final battles outside Berlin in March and April of 1945, in which up to 200,000 soldiers, militia fighters, civilians and laborers were killed. Munitions, equipment and bodies remain scattered throughout the region usually only a few feet underground and last year the Commission reburied 511 bodies. Europe, Russia and the former Allies will commemorate the 70th anniversary of World War II on May 8 and 9. (Photo by Sean Gallup/Getty Images)
