Ghost fleet of Nazi warships resurfaces as the Danube river runs dry

The ships, some still laden with weapons, belonged to Nazi Germany’s Black Sea fleet

There are believed to be about 200 Nazi ships on the floor of the Danube near Prahovo, Serbia. Ferries, tourist boats, and shipping have also become severely restricted due to the drought.

Europe's second-longest river is carrying less water than it has in decades, revealing shipwrecks and shutting down nuclear reactors.

Water levels on the Danube River have dropped so low that dozens of World War II German battleships – and even the remains of an ancient woolly mammoth — are emerging into view.

Water levels in the river Danube have fallen so low due to this summer's dry weather in Europe that sunken Nazi warships are appearing into view.

Prolonged drought and extreme heat across Europe have also triggered an energy crisis. For the first time ever, Hungary announced the shutdown of the country’s only nuclear power plant, after water levels in the Danube fell to a record low. Peter O’Brien explains.
