The remains of two Wehrmacht soldiers, as well as a DKW NZ 350-1 motorcycle and Tellermine 35 anti-tank mines, have been found due to the shallowing of the Danube River in Hungary, the People's Association for the Care of German Military Graves (VDK) reports.

The remains were found in the shallowing Danube riverbed in Budaörs, a suburb of the Hungarian capital city Budapest, during the study of sunken ships. The excavations were carried out by specialists from the Hungarian Military History Institute and Museum.

Due to the discovered ammunition, demining specialists were also involved in the work, and the river bank was temporarily blocked. The personal signs of the fallen soldiers were also found at the site. According to the VDK, the signs and the motorcycle were well preserved due to the presence of diesel fuel in the silt.

Since the signs were left with the deceased, it is believed that their relatives probably did not receive official notifications of their deaths. After the completion of the necessary procedures, the remains are planned to be buried in the Wehrmacht soldiers' cemetery in Budaörs.

The VDK believes that further shallowing of the Danube may lead to the discovery of the remains of other soldiers who died in this area during World War II.
