Remains of German Submarines Found in the Baltic Sea: a Maritime Grave for 80 Sailors

Euronews Portugal2 September 2026 at 06:41

In 1941 and 1943, two German submarines sank in the Baltic Sea during World War II, carrying many young sailors. Now, divers from Poland discovered the remains of these vessels, which represent a maritime grave for approximately 80 sailors.

The discovery was made by Polish divers who located the remains of the submarines at the bottom of the Baltic Sea. The wreckage represents important traces of the military history of World War II.

The German Association for the Preservation of War Graves expressed concern about the situation. The organization warned that the submarines are frequently looted, which represents a violation of the final resting places of the soldiers.

The remains found serve as a submerged memorial for the sailors who lost their lives in these naval operations during the war. The preservation of these sites is considered important for historical memory and respect for the dead.
