Recovery, identification, and burial of casualties from World War I and II is still a topic of interest in many countries. In Slovakia, recent discoveries of such remains are usually accidental. Unfortunately, in many cases the remains are disrupted and without any material culture present, rendering the identification of the victim almost impossible. Majority of accidental skeletal remains are analyzed by legal medical doctors at forensic medicine departments spread across ten regional workplaces around the country. The aim of the paper is to point out the problems with recovery and identification of World War I and World War II remains in Slovakia.
在许多国家,对第一次世界大战和第二次世界大战伤员的恢复、识别和埋葬仍然是一个感兴趣的话题。在斯洛伐克,最近发现的此类遗骸通常是偶然的。不幸的是,在许多情况下,遗骸被破坏,没有任何物质文化存在,使得受害者的身份识别几乎不可能。大多数偶然的骨骼遗骸都是由分布在全国各地的十个地区工作场所的法医部门的法律医生进行分析的。本文的目的是指出在斯洛伐克,恢复和识别第一次世界大战和第二次世界大战遗骸时所面临的问题。
