After further inspection, the pockets revealed a wallet decorated with Nazi insignia and emblems and Germany money in addition to rolling paper for cigarettes. Kristiansen spoke about the moment they found these items, “And then we found some personal things – books, a wallet with money…either it was a little Bible or it was Mein Kampf – a book in his pocket. We didn’t touch it, we just put it in some bags.” Again, that’s when the father and son entered uncharted territory and knew it was time to call in professionals.
