At the end of 2008, German
archeologists found an extra-
ordinarily Roman battlefield in
Lower Saxony. They determined
that the battle took place in the
3rd century AD, when Roman
Empire itself was on the brink of
collapse and more than 200 ye-
ars after the date when Romans
supposedly quitted campaigns
into the German territory. How
could the failing Roman Empire
still have fought a major battle
so far from home? Who were
their German enemies?

veal the unpunished war
crimes committed by the
Italians during WW2.
