Unusually low water levels in Budapest’s Danube River have exposed Second World War remains hidden for around 80 years. Recovery teams found the bodies of two Wehrmacht soldiers, their well-preserved identity discs, a German military motorbike, anti-tank mines and other wartime objects near Batthyány Square. The finds could help identify the soldiers and reveal more about Budapest’s final wartime days.
