ME 109 Messerschmitt Plane When 14-year-old Danish student, Daniel Rom Kristiansen, was doing some research for a project, he stumbled upon an amazing discovery! He had to do an assignment on WWII, so his dad suggested they look for artifacts on the fields of their farm. Daniel had grown up with his grandfather’s stories from WWII but some were true and some weren’t! 9. Hidden Battlefields All over Europe, the remnants of long-ago battlefields lie in wait for archaeologists to uncover. For years, they’ve remained untouched, but they’re a treasure trove of information, archaeologically speaking. There are tons of spots for further research, such as bombed areas and supply reserves. Researchers are hoping that investigating some of these long-lost battlefields in northwestern Europe could help teach us more about German military strategies. 8.

Since all of their good ships were stationed elsewhere, the Navy tried to make do with what they had. 6. Desert Training Center Did you know that the largest training ground in the history of warfare was in the United States. Located in the Mojave desert, the Desert Training Center (DTC), also known as the California/Arizona Maneuver Area, was the training spot for some one million soldiers in between 1942 and 1943, preparing soldiers for WWII 5. Plutonium In 2004, crews responsible for cleaning up nuclear waste in Hanford, Washington uncovered the remains of a rusty safe lodged in a trench. When they opened it up, they found that there was a gallon sized bottle which contained the remnants of weapons-grade plutonium. Even though it’s only a small amount, it could do serious damage. 4.
