In Braunau am Inn in Upper Austria, Adolf Hitler's birthplace, archaeologists have uncovered the remains of at least 120 people in recent months. Experts describe it as one of the most significant mass grave discoveries of recent decades.
The site is located in the Ranshofen district. After a girl discovered the bone in March, her mother notified the police. Initial examinations quickly confirmed that the remains were human. Austria's Federal Monuments Office was then brought in and an archaeological excavation was launched.
