Low river waters in Hungary’s capital reveal World War II dead
Low water levels in the Danube River have revealed remnants of World War II in Hungary's capital city. A German Army motorcycle was found intact, along with the bodies of two German soldiers and their identification tags. Other items recovered include a wedding ring and anti-tank mines.
The discovery is a significant find, particularly for families who lost loved ones during the war. German troops occupied the city from 1944, and it was later besieged by the Soviet Red Army. The city suffered heavy casualties before surrendering in 1945.
Further details about the discovery and its significance can be found through additional sources, including We Are The Mighty.
