Low Danube Reveals Sunken World War II Ships

Severe droughts and heat waves caused a drop in the Danube River's water levels, revealing sunken Nazi ships from World War II near Serbia's Prahovo and vessels dating before 1950 in Hungary's Danube-Drava National Park. The ships come to light due to the water level standing at just 1.5 meters.

Severe droughts in July and August led to a significant drop in the Danube River's water level, revealing sunken Nazi ships from World War II in Serbia and Hungary. The drought caused the river's level to plummet to just 1.5 meters near Mohacs, Hungary.

These revelations include explosives-laden Nazi ships near Serbia's Prahovo and other vessels dating back before 1950 in Hungary's Danube-Drava National Park. Both countries experienced extraordinary heat waves and persistent drought, which contributed to the river's decline.

The discoveries have brought historical artifacts to light, offering unique insights into the remnants of World War II laying beneath the Danube's waters.
