Abstract

Following the initiative of the Hungarian Organisation of the German War Graves Commission, the MoD Military History Institute and Museum excavated and exhumed human remains on three POW burial sites next to the WW2 memorial on Vaskút Road in 2024. Simultaneously, the Military History Museum conducted a small metal detector test survey in the southern zone of the former camp on Vaskút Road. This paper overviews the finds from the 2024 campaign in light of international research and the archaeological research of the WW2 POW camp in Baja.
