Archaeologists have unearthed the skeletons of five people, missing their hands and feet, at a former Nazi military base in Poland.
They were discovered at a Nazi command center known as the Wolf’s Lair in Gierloz, northeastern Poland, after the group unearthed a fragment of human skull during a dig on February 24 and alerted local authorities, who decided to carry out further excavations. The remains belonged to three adults, a teenager and a newborn baby, according to a statement from the Latebra Foundation, a historical organization based in the Polish city of Gdansk, published Thursday.
However, they then found ashes and a burned key, before he found the skull fragment. “It was very surprising,” he said. The foundation is waiting to hear the results of a police investigation into the remains, and many questions remain unanswered. “There are many theories why they do not have hands and feet,” said Kostrzewa. “Right now, it’s very hard to say.” An important next step is to find out the age of the remains using radio carbon dating, he added.
