German soldiers found entombed in an perfectly preserved World War One shelter Twenty-one German soldiers entombed in an perfectly preserved World War One shelter have been discovered 94 years after they were killed. The men were part of a larger group of 34 who were buried alive when a huge Allied shell exploded above the tunnel, near the small town of Carspach in the Alsace region in France, in 1918 causing it to cave in.
