Craig Gottlieb & "Nazi War Diggers"

[Brian S]

If you believe...

"Unfortunately, a video excerpt from our show posted on our website did not provide important context about our team’s methodology. This series operates in direct conjunction with organizations officially licensed to excavate battlefield sites and adhered to their procedures. All of the excavation featured in the series, including handling of human remains, was supervised by representatives from these organizations, which act under the authority of their country’s government and are also backed by the official German and Russian war graves commissions."

Maybe, just maybe, Craig and the others are so involved in self promotion they neglect to mention they are being supervised? Sounds possible to me...

If true then Nat Geog should expell him too.

I just heard about this story. If this is true, it's pure desecration of fallen soldiers graves and this man should be torn apart by media and completely ruined. It's only shameful. I for one will have no problem sharing my opinion about Craig.

Craig G. furthering his absolutely greedy scumbag persona. Deplorable. Hope this whole deal comes crashing down on their heads. Petition signed.

Saw that on his facebook site:
I'm a Cornell graduate in philosophy, former major in the U.S. Marines..

Hmm, not a lot of honor left.

Here is the actual footage filmed from the National Geographic site. As a medical professional and history enthusiast this is nothing sort of idiotic, grotesque, unethical and disrespectful.

Unbelievable what a man Graig is but this video is so

I was redireceted to this thread from another.

I always knew Gottlieb had annoyed a lot of people but I really had not beeen involved so read rather than posted comments. Clearly I had a poor opinion of him.

This though is beyond what is right and wrong. Others bones for his self publicity.

His moral compass isn't just defective it's absolutely broken.

A programme like this could have been made with so much honour and dignity ...

He clearly exhibits sociopathic traits. Sometimes its hard to spot but with him it is quite obvious. I feel sorry for his family and anyone that has to deal with him on a personal or business level.

"Craig Gottlieb is the team's tactical ace. He prides himself on being able to look at overgrown battlefield sites and spot where both side’s positions, troops and artillery would have been situated. "



What an insecure little man. Napolean complex. I'm sure he would have no trouble riding his pathetic little Segue across the cemetary at Colleville-sur-Mer Normandy, if a camera was rolling, and there was profit in it for him.

He would have never got permission to film anything there.
Him being associated with neo-Nazi groups and his focus on selling ww2 german militaria.
Anything that has been film at the cemetery has always been done well.Including only one movie film there,

Just despicable and reprehensible on so many levels. Lowbrow trash programming, that's all too common these days.
Based upon their OLD reputation, I would have expected more from National Geographic. Sadly mistaken; what does it say about the morals and intelligence of whoever decided to put this steaming pile on the air?

I agree, culturally we, as a country, have sunk to new lows of outright sleaziness and depravity, shows such as Swamp people, Arm busters?, axemen, Hard core pawn (that one is stomach turning and its not the customers that elicit that reaction from me) so many more, just plain stupid and trashy. National Geographic now refers to themselves as 'Nat Geo' in an attempt to be trendy to the 20 somethings and now we have a program like this? at first I thought this was a joke, I am aghast but then I have been since shows like 'Survivor' came along, I guess I am just an old fuddy duddy after all.
Sad times indeed,

My comment was entirely sarcastic. I was not being serious.
