Skeletons missing hands and feet found in Hitler’s Wolf’s Lair
Five human skeletons with missing hands and feet were found at Hitler’s military headquarters in Poland, buried inside Goering’s villa. The bodies included three adults, a baby, and an older child.

Top Turkish exports to Israel include steel, vehicles, plastics, electrical devices, and machinery, while imports from Israel are mainly fuels.
