Deciphering wartime photos taken from American planes has helped authorities in southern Austria discover two mass graves with an estimated 70 sets of remains in them. Both pits are under a football pitch inside an Austrian military base. Experts believe the skeletons there are of people shot dead by the Nazis shortly before the liberation of Austria. There are plans to dig up and try to identify the remains.
