Republic of Belarus.

         Our organization has state licenses for search lifting, restoration
and sale not only military (aviation, armoured equipment and so on), but also
civil equipment (automobiles, tractors, prime movers, motorcycles and so on),
the equipment of Wold War I, Wold War II, pre-war periods, and material
evidences of all historical periods on the territory of Republic of Belarus.
         The result of our activity is a creation of a small collection of
historical equipment:
  Soviet tank BT-7 , produced in 1935, submerged on 11 metros of depth, but
now it has been restored for working state in original complete set;
  German cannon Pak 36 (r) . Having been submerged on 4 metres of depth. It s
completely restored;
  German mortar 211 mm Gr18 on a transport carriage found in the wood has been
completely restored now;
  German halfcaterpillar mover DB-1043 . It has been lifted from the marsh and
it is in restoration;
  Soviet mover Stalinets , produced in 1939. Was listed from the march and is
in restoration now;
  Two German tanks Pz.Kpfw.38(t) , exploded but now they are in a complete set
for restoration to a working state. All works on their restoration are stopped;
                  Our state due to geopolitical situation was a member of all
global conflicts. The war with Sweden, Napoleon s compaign to Russia (the rest
of troops were defeated in Belarus), Wold War I, Wold War II lest evidences of
all historical events on our land.
         In organization of searching work we use archive facts. According to
official returns on the territory of Republic of Belarus, the casualties of
military tanks were numbered in 216 ones, but as for as the rest of military
equipment about 11000 ones. In consequence mistaken opinion of Vermaht
guidance, during the operation Bagration in 1944, it turned out to distract
the attention and when germane troops would return to the lest territory, the
command was given not to destroy all the equipment , but to take measures to
its cover. The rapidity of this operation didn t give a chance of taking out
material resources equipment to new positions.
         The members and eye-witnesses of battles help in our searching work.
Such work gives bigger result than work with archives, but is complicated by
the fact that some of them died, some are old and live in different parts of
the world.
         Our specialists have a big experience of searching and lifting not
only the unbroken equipment but the exploded, parts of which were dispersed in
the radius of some metres and were in the marsh on the depth of more than 10
metres. During 2 years our specialists carried out more than 30 liftings of
different complication not only in Belarus but in Russia as well. We have a big
experience and technical opportunities of equipment and aviation restoration to
a working state.
         We are looking for partners on mutual help conditions for realization
of following programmers:
1. Museums and private collections interested in buying equipment and material
evidences (it s possible to order searches of certain kinds of equipment, arms,
attributes and so on).
2. Those who wish to take part in the lifting of equipment, excavations of
constructions, fortifications and depots.
3. Searching groups for joint work and excavations and information that they
have.
4. Eye-witness and all who wish to help in searching of lost and buried
historical evidences on our territory.
5. Publishing houses and television and radio companies that wish to get video
and photomaterials of carrying excavations and listings that are carried by us
and joint groups.
6. We can also help in looking for perished missing on the territory of
Republic of Belarus, organizations of burring and reburying of remains.
         Our union takes responsibility of living transportation, carrying
works and other organization questions of the groups and persons that are
invited by us. We guarantee safety, the whole confidentiality of information,
civil and state support for the time of your staying in our country.
         We cooperate with all organizations of such king in the former USSR,
and we can also offer all kinds of analogous activity on the territory of the
former USSR.

of their receipt.
         We are looking for constant partners who wish and have opportunities
