The burial site, which contained the bones of more than 1,360 corpses (adults and children of all ages), was discovered outside St. Petersburg.
In a horrific discovery in Russia , a volunteer group proceeded to a Nazi mass grave that “housed” the bodies of 675 children of all ages , believed to have been “sacrificed” to transfuse their blood into wounded officers and soldiers. researchers.
The burial site, which contained more than 1,360 bodies , was discovered outside St. Petersburg and near a base of Hitler’s SS during World War II.
The victims, who were almost all without visible injuries, were found naked and barefoot in the village of Novaya Buria, in the Lomonosovsky district of St. Petersburg.
In all, about 50 bags were collected from the macabre mass grave this week , which was filled with the skeletons of 415 victims, half of whom were children: from newborns to teenagers, believed to have lost their lives due to blood loss for to “save” the German soldiers who were fighting near St. Petersburg. Of the adult corpses, most were women, including at least three who were pregnant. Few of these victims bore the marks of beatings, while the majority bore no indication of the cause of death.
A volunteer who participated in the research said that“A total of 1,362 human bones were found, 675 of which belonged to children.”
According to available information, about 300 meters from the mass grave, Nazi soldiers had their base from 1941 to 1943 , during the Siege of Leningrad (modern-day St. Petersburg).
There was a theory that the children found died of starvation during the harsh winters that plagued Russia throughout World War II. However, experts said the children’s remains may have come from a “blood transfusion” camp in the town of Viritsa, near Gatsina.
More than 300 minors, aged from newborns to 14, were held in the camp for one purpose: to “pump” blood for Wehrmacht soldiers and officers.
The youngest children had the opportunity to be accompanied by their mothers to the horrible camp. About 100 graves were discovered near the “death camp”, but thousands of young victims from Viritsa were never found.
