I thought the word for “hunter” was “Jäger.”

Just a code name.

I see. Thanks.

And yes, the "rusted bullets" thing caught my eye too.

Lead doesn't rust; brass is fairly corrosion resistant, which is why its used in valves and piping.

The literal translation for Schatzgraber would be “Treasure graves”, since Schatz is treasure and ‘grab’ is ‘tomb’, but ‘graber’ is graves...............

Fascinating !

I LOVE discoveries that reveal a past that we ordinarily don't know.

It humanizes history.

They may have used steel jacketed bullets?
Remember, this was WWII, we even made our pennies from steel. Copper was a very hot commodity...............

yeah, I noticed too. Along with "patrol cans".

I'll guess they meant "petrol". I miss competent editors.

I think they must have been poisoned by polar bear liver. It contains toxic amounts of vitamin A. Other explorers have been poisoned & killed this way. Roundworms don’t kill you right off.

What they describe as shells are drop cases, it was the only way to get supplies to them. No landing strips and too far for a Storch to travel to. Not exactly where one would want to stay in the winter. It may have been more than a weather station, the Murmansk convoys had to go past there?

Likely just poor translation. “Rusted” should read corroded. And there is no such thing as “patrol cans” that should read “petrol cans”.

Earlier reports of this said it was a well-known weather-station and had been explored several times.

The Nazi legends will continue on in infamy for thousands of years if the world lasts that long. Though they were evil there is enough material to use them as villains in movies for a very long time...Suff like this and Hitler’s obsession with the occult make for good plot twists and turns...

You are correct. Graber is closer to dig, ditch or trench. Someone has chosen to translate it to hunter because it sounds better. My search for Schatzgraber brought many references to this as treasure hunter.
