About
Archaeology or archeology[a] is the study of human activity through the recovery and analysis of material culture. The archaeological record consists of artifacts, architecture, biofacts or ecofacts, sites, and cultural landscapes.
Archaeology has various goals, which range from understanding culture history to reconstructing past lifeways to documenting and explaining changes in human societies through time.
The discipline involves surveying, excavation, and eventually analysis of data collected, to learn more about the past. In broad scope, archaeology relies on cross-disciplinary research. Read more...

"German WW2 soldier" is the term used by the Polish archaeologists who discovered the site. If they're OK with it, the morality police can probably stand down.
The article says that the coins likely belonged to the solider because they coincide with areas of likely deployment. The rest of the stuff was just in the area and there's no suggestion the soldier even knew about it. They just stumbled on it by accident because they were investigating the soldier.
There's your sign
Tell me you've never talked to anyone from Poland without saying you've never talked to anyone from Poland.
