It all started with a school project that a boy named Daniel Kristiansen got. In his project, he was assigned the task to do some research on World War II. In the end, the research the boy came up with along with the discoveries he made, shook the whole world. It had all started with a joke that his father, Klaus, made on him.

Yeah, I know that you are a little confused with that “joke” thing? Let me clear that out for you. There was a family joke which revolved around the Kristiansen’s regarding the story of an abominable land that Dan’s grandfather used to tell everyone. It was this joke that Klaus recalled on hearing about his son’s history project which triggered it all.

The farm you see in the image belongs to the Kristiansen family. You can just get an idea of the long period for which they have been the owner of the farm by the fact that Dan’s grandfather always used to say that something sinister had happened on their land 73 years ago. Well, certainly the farm had seen way many things apart from vegetables and herd of cattle. But, what?

While giving an interview to a radio station named DR P4 Nordjylland of Denmark, Klaus explained that the story his father told him was set on the backdrop of World war II. He went on to say, “When Daniel was recently given a good homework about World War Two, I jokingly told him to go out and find the plane that is supposed to have crashed out in the field.” In reality, Klaus never believed the story that his father told him.

But, what Klaus had not expected, was the fact that his son Dan would take the story seriously.In fact, Dan was so serious that he went on to investigate their family farm that his grandfather had described in his story. Luckily, Dan’s curiosity came in handy for the whole world eventually.

So, as a supportive father would do, Klaus accompanied his son on a trip to the field carrying a metal detector. Aat the back of his mind Klaus was confident enough not to find anything special apart from a few insignificant objects which his son could display in his project. He told a CNN reporter, “I hoped we might find some old plates or something for Daniel to go and show in school.” But, Klaus got goosebumps after seeing what they had discovered.
