Hitler's lost fleet

[Werner Presber]

"The final resting place of three German U-boats, nicknamed "Hitler's  
lost fleet", has been found at the bottom of the Black Sea.


The submarines had been carried 2,000 miles overland from Germany to  
attack Russian shipping during the Second World War, but were  
scuttled as the war neared its end. Now, more than 60 years on,  
explorers have located the flotilla of three submarines off the coast  
of Turkey.

The vessels, including one once commanded by Germany's most  
successful U-boat ace, formed part of the 30th Flotilla of six  
submarines, taken by road and river across Nazi-occupied Europe, from  
Germany's Baltic port at Kiel to Constanta, the Romanian Black Sea  
port."
