What was that crap in the river?


Was it human remains of just shit?

I'm guessing shit. Namely, the aftermath of Octoberfest

It was remains/ash from the crematoriums. That's how they disposed of them after they were burned. Pretty sure one of the boys playing with human teeth likely found those in the river as well.

In one of the last scenes in the film you see laborers dumping a wheelbarrow full of ash onto the family garden as fertilizer. At that moment I concluded that the boys found the teeth in their own garden.

Looked like a bone. It was white. Jaw bone or something circular.
