On 7 July, in a forest near Kierżno (the municipality of Nowogrodziec), the Pomost Historical and Archaeological Research Workshop conducted a search and exhumation work. As we read on the workshop’s Facebook profile:
(...) Near the railway line southeast of the village, there was a forgotten forest grave. Inside, we discovered the looted burial of a German soldier. We did not find an identification tag among his remains.
