Disclaimer

I do not belive all relic hunters are bad persons, but in many cases they show little respect for the dead and have far more interest in getting souvenirs. Any casualty of war should be treatet with respect, anyone dead should be treatet with respect. I cant accept that any grave are disturbed unless its something that is vital to explain national / cultural history. Any ship sunk or bodys found that are part of any historic event should be left alone or realeased to the famely, Not broken apart so someone can get a medal in a showcase to impress there friends, or to be sold as a sensation item

When you think about it....the site lay undisturbed for over 60 years because the locals feared the spirits of the dead were still there

With all that ordinance laying around it sounds like a case where superstition saved lives.
