Documentary statement: what the previously unknown facts of the history of the Second World War say

Among the declassified archival materials are data on Hitler's Germany's preparations for war, unique campaign maps and evidence of Nazi atrocities.

In November last year, a German helmet from the Second World War was discovered in the Neva River near the Peter and Paul Fortress in St. Petersburg. The helmet was brought by a strong current from the battlefields of Leningrad. Due to severe corrosion, a moment after lifting, the find literally fell apart in his hands.
