The wrecks of explosives-laden Nazi ships sunk in the River Danube during World War Two have emerged near Serbia’s river port town of Prahovo, after a drought in July and August that saw the river’s water level drop. Four vessels dating from before 1950 have also come to light in Hungary’s Danube-Drava National Park near Mohacs, where the Danube’s water level stood at only 1.5 meters on Tuesday, the lingering effect of severe heat waves and persistent drought in July and August. The vessels revealed in Prahovo were among hundreds scuttled along the Danube by Nazi Germany’s Black Sea fleet in 1944 as they retreated from advancing Soviet forces, destroying the ships themselves. The wrecks can hamper river traffic during low water levels. 🔗 Read more at our link in bio.  #Reuters #ships #ship #shipwreck #Danube #river #worldwartwo #WWII #drought #weather #climate #climatechange #Prahovo #Serbia #extremeweather
