Europe's monthslong drought has exposed the hulls of German ships sunk toward the end of WWII in the Danube River.
The 20 exposed hulls near the Serbian river port town of Prahovo are just a fraction of the hundreds of vessels from the German Black Sea Fleet scuttled in the Danube in 1944 in an effort to slow down the advancing Red Army, according to Reuters.
Europe's worst drought in years has pushed the mighty river Danube to one of its lowest levels in almost a century, exposing the hulks of dozens of explosives-laden German warships sunk during World War Two near Serbia's river port town of Prahovo https://t.co/xsC35uLRTi 1/5 pic.twitter.
'The German flotilla has left behind a big ecological disaster that threatens us, people of Prahovo,' said Velimir Trajilovic, a pensioner from Prahovo who wrote a book about the German ships. The Germans are known to have scuttled 220 vessels in total, according to the Serbian news outlet N1. Thirty ships were raised after the war, with the overwhelming majority going untouched. The ships varied widely in tonnage and roles; everything from submarine chasers to hospital ships are known to have been scuttled.
