Historic Nazi Shipwrecks Unearthed by Record-Low Danube Waters

Recent droughts and lowered water levels in the Danube River have revealed sunken World War Two Nazi ships near Serbia's Prahovo and Hungary's Mohacs. The exposure uncovers both wartime wrecks and vessels predating 1950, highlighting historical and environmental impacts.

Recent drought conditions have led to a significant drop in the Danube River's water levels, unveiling sunken World War Two Nazi ships around Serbia's Prahovo port town and Hungary's Mohacs area.

These shipwrecks, laden with explosives, were submerged since the war and have now surfaced due to the unprecedented environmental changes brought by severe heat waves and prolonged drought periods in July and August.

Additionally, four ships dating back to before 1950 have been revealed in Hungary's Danube-Drava National Park as the river's water level fell to just 1.5 meters.
