Two days ago my class went to a place called Dukla Pass. This is right along the Slovak, Polish border. This is where one of the major battles of WW2 took place. It was the deadliest battle in the World Wars. Not only that but many Russian, German, and Czecloslovakian tanks, planes, and other equipment are still in the fields. We found a lady that was 96 years old. She told us (in slovak) about the battle there. She also took us into the cellar where the Germans had hidden and installed a phone. Many land mines are still found there today. One of the tanks we were on had the top open so we went inside. Inside there was things like gun holders and other things like that. The engine was still there. It was located in the back of the tank. We also saw and climbed on a tank with a hook for picking up other tanks, a truck with weaponry still on it, a transportation vehicle, and Russian plain. It was great!
