Record-low water levels in the Danube river, caused by an intense drought, have uncovered the skeletal remains of two German soldiers from World War Two on the riverbank in downtown Budapest, Hungary. Alongside the remains, investigators found a largely intact Wehrmacht (Nazi Germany's regular armed forces) motorcycle, identification tags, a wedding ring, and a Kuban shield — a German military combat decoration — all well-preserved by a layer of harbour sludge and oil on the riverbed. The German War Graves Commission, a non-profit organisation that recovers and buries war dead on behalf of the German government, has launched an investigation to identify the soldiers and hopes the discovery may finally bring closure to families who have waited more than 80 years for news of missing relatives.
