由于严重干旱,多瑙河水位降至创纪录低位,两具二战德国士兵的遗骸在匈牙利布达佩斯河段被发现[1]。这次发现于2024年8月2日进行,出土物品包括士兵身份标识牌、一辆完整的DKW NZ 350-1型摩托车、结婚戒指、Kuban勋章和反坦克地雷[1]。其中一枚身份标识牌属于Wehrmacht士兵,另一枚属于Waffen-SS成员[1]。该摩托车为1944年战时专门生产的型号[1]。
德国战争墓地委员会已启动调查,以确定这些遗骸的身份[1]。该委员会表示,"太多拼图需要收集,结果是不确定的"[1]。根据调查,这两名士兵被埋葬在匈牙利首都外Budaörs的德国战争公墓[1]。
Severe drought has caused the Danube River near Budapest to reach record-low water levels, revealing the remains of two World War II German soldiers along with military artifacts [1]. The discovery was made on August 2, 2024, and included identity tags belonging to one Wehrmacht soldier and one Waffen-SS member, a complete DKW NZ 350-1 motorcycle, a wedding ring, a Kuban medal, and an anti-tank mine [1].
The motorcycle recovered at the site was specifically manufactured in 1944 as a wartime model [1]. The German War Graves Commission has launched an investigation to identify the soldiers, though officials acknowledged the complexity of the task, noting that "too many puzzle pieces need to be collected, and the outcome is uncertain" [1]. The two soldiers are expected to be buried at the German military cemetery in Budaörs, located outside Hungary's capital [1].
