Sergeant Boris Lazarev was shot down on 19 Apr 1943 near Chupa by German
pilot Oberfeldwebel Rudolf Muller. Lazarev's Hurricane landed in a bog and was found over 60 years later.The Bog water preserved Lazarev's remains.  |

Peat bogs are legendary for their ability to preserve anything that falls into them. Their environment tans any flesh gets into them, and there is no oxygen in them. Some of the oldest pieces of preserved (not fossilized, preserved) flesh ever found came from peat bogs.

CJ Wouldn't it be cool if they dug him out after all these years and he was like "Christsky, what took you so longsky?" and he still looked the same age as when he crashed and stuff?

Somewhat old news but not widely reported.
Go to warrelics.com for more. Great site, lots of cool stuff being found. I didn't realize it was a Russki pilot in a Hurricane in the story I first read. The pilot died in his homeland, defending his homeland from Nazis, it would appear. I can't find any fault with that. |

I seem to remember hearing about ancient people that kept fish in bogs for years, and then ate them latter.

P-40 Warkhawk discovered with pilot in a Russian bog - amazing pictures! Senior Lieutenant Philipp Costenko's aircraft was shot down at Ivanovsiye Porogi, on February 23, 1943 while escorting Russian bombers. This was a lend-lease aircraft from the U.S. with a Soviet pilot. |
