World War II ended in September of 1945, bringing several years of combat, destruction, and loss to a tragic conclusion. Even 70 years later, however, people are still uncovering remnants of this terrible time in history. Recently, a discovery was made in the rural Nevsky Pyatachok region of Russia that sheds new light on the war.

During an archaeological dig, historians found a lock box encased in mud. It was so caked in dirt, in fact, that no one could tell what it could possibly contain—nor did they have any idea just how surprised they would be once they found out.

When they finally cracked it open, they realized that what was hidden inside should have probably remained locked up.
