German warship wrecks from WWII resurface in Danube after more than 80 years
In eastern Serbia, German shipwrecks sunk at the end of World War II have reappeared in the Danube. The wrecks attract history enthusiasts but also narrow one of Europe's key waterways.

In the Danube River in eastern Serbia, the wrecks of German ships sunk at the end of World War II have become visible again. After more than eight decades, some of them are now almost fully exposed above the water, drawing the attention of history enthusiasts.
However, this striking remnant of the past has also turned into a modern challenge. The wrecks are narrowing one of Europe's most important waterways, creating difficulties for navigation.
While these remains offer a rare glimpse into wartime history, they also serve as a reminder of the war's lasting impact on the region. Observers note that the ships are not only an intriguing sight but also a potential obstacle to river traffic.
