According to Daily Mail, about 64 state investigators and search volunteers are currently working at the Dulag-191 - a former German concentration camp established in thevoronezh region, Russia.
The search for human remains at this location is focusing on 15 pits, each containing 30-100 sets of remains, in the vicinity of Lushnikovo village, Ostrogozhsky district.
The location was discovered from unclassified confidential documents, aerial photos taken by a German pilot in 2014 and statements from survivors. archival documents show that at least 8,500 women and children have died at the camp.
The remains of 500 victims were found, mainly women and children, many of whom had injuries from shots and evidence of torture. Other prisoners were believed to have died from malnutrition and illness.
"Evaluating the remains that have been excavated so far, we have seen wounds caused by bullets, wounds caused by torture, or in other words, broken bones," said Mikhail Segodin, head of the search volunteer team.
A Soviet intelligence report on September 2,42 said that thevoronezh area had a concentration camp for women and children. The camp is described as outdoors, fenced with four rows of barbed wire and guarded. Prisoners in the Dulag/11, forced to build a railway line for the German Capital - known as the Berlinka line, was built to support German forces seeking to capture Stalingrad.
According to the report, prisoners were not given food, but children were allowed to receive allowances and documents. There are many patients there, and medical support is not provided. Therefore, the mortality rate is very high.
Volunteer Segodin said his team will continue investigating the area, along with experts from the Investigation Committee, in the hope of discovering more bodies.
