Monday, August 24, 2015
KAMION, POLAND—Human remains have been removed from a World War II-era Soviet plane that crashed into a lake in central Poland after it was hit with German artillery. “For now we have managed to find the instrument panel, the engine, a wheel and a well-preserved radio,” Zdzislaw Leszczynski, director of the Museum of the River Vistula, told Radio Poland. The wreckage was revealed in Bzura Lake as the water level dropped during the recent heatwave and lack of rain. “The plane was so battered that it’s impossible to determine which model it is for the time being,” Leszczynski added.
