Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
Anyone else know the name for a "German WW2 soldier?'
Or how one might have "acquired" that collection?

About
Archaeology or archeology[a] is the study of human activity through the recovery and analysis of material culture. The archaeological record consists of artifacts, architecture, biofacts or ecofacts, sites, and cultural landscapes.
Archaeology has various goals, which range from understanding culture history to reconstructing past lifeways to documenting and explaining changes in human societies through time.
The discipline involves surveying, excavation, and eventually analysis of data collected, to learn more about the past. In broad scope, archaeology relies on cross-disciplinary research. Read more...

Looting, a popular past time of all soldiers.
"German WW2 soldier" is the term used by the Polish archaeologists who discovered the site. If they're OK with it, the morality police can probably stand down.
The article says that the coins likely belonged to the solider because they coincide with areas of likely deployment. The rest of the stuff was just in the area and there's no suggestion the soldier even knew about it. They just stumbled on it by accident because they were investigating the soldier.
I do nazi what you mean?
The Nazis were a political party and the article does not mention him being a part of the S.S.
And to answer your second question - Nazi time travel.
Lol, Nazi simps never change. Bro's about to try and tell us Rommel was a swell guy.
~~Honestly, I do not doubt many things were pocketed while digging trenches. These do not look like looted items.~~ Zzz, too sleepy.
The tools were just near the grave, the coins are almost certainly war/genocide loot.
Ah yes, I see at the end of the article. Missed that. :)
