...just a joke; I must me a major moron as I have been there twice and would go back again.
Anyway, yes, there is a stock to an MP40 right in the middle. I found it in a trench-pit with right near the remains of a German truck. Its amazing how much you can reconstruct an area by the artifacts.
The only badges found were the iron cross, Russian para badge, and a Russian military sports badge.
There is a display in the Kiev WWII museum that has hundreds of iron crosses in a pile; a similar display is in the central armed forces museum. They must have captured 10,000!
If you can go, let me know and I'll connect you with the people with the connections.
This year the group is driving fromt he Volga to the Don to visit the old HG of the Germasn forces in the area; it supposed to be untouched!
