— Archaeologists in Poland have unearthed a Nazi time capsule circa 1934 that contained images of Adolf Hitler
The archaeologists had been aware for years of the existence of the time capsule, which was buried underground, but had not been able to reach the copper cylinder container, <a href="http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/nazi-time-capsule-poland-mein-kampf-adolf-hitler-discovery-photos-a7315771.html" title="">according to</a> The Independent
The capsule was located earlier this month in the northwestern town of Zlocieniec
which was part of Germany during World War II
and is believed to have been hidden during the construction of a building used to train Nazis
The archaeologists had to cut through various obstacles
In addition to photographs of Hitler and newspapers
it contained two copies of the Nazi leader’s manifesto
“Mein Kampf,” as well as coins and material promoting the town of Zlocieniec
which was referred to by its former German name
according to The European Pressphoto Agency
The capsule is being kept by the National Museum in Szczecin
where its contents will be shown to the public
