Drought Unveils Sunken WWII Nazi Ships in Danube River

Record low water levels in the Danube due to severe drought reveal explosives-laden Nazi vessels in Serbia and Hungary.

The receding water levels in the Danube have exposed Nazi ships scuttled in 1944 near Prahovo, Serbia, and Mohacs, Hungary.
These vessels, part of Nazi Germany's Black Sea fleet, were sunk to prevent capture by advancing Soviet forces.
The ships, still containing explosives, pose a hazard to river traffic and have drawn interest from the public, leading to parts going missing.
Eastern Europe is facing critical drought conditions, with the Danube's water level in Budapest recorded at 1.17 meters, close to the all-time low.
Recent rainfall is expected to raise water levels and submerge the shipwrecks again by the weekend.
