Every point has a paper trail
The points are not guesses. They are based on real documents of the time, and the “📄 Documentation” card tells you which one:

- the signatory
- an “approximate” note when the exact position is not known
What it is and what it is not
- It is a historical guide on the map: it shows where and when events took place, based on real documents of the time.
- Positions and zones are approximate. They do not show where any object lies.
- The app does not promise that you will find buried objects.
- War material can still be dangerous. Do not touch it and notify the authorities. Any excavation requires a permit from the competent authorities.
