At the end of WWII with defeat imminent, Germany decided to scuttle much of their Black Sea fleet. Dozens of warships went down at the mount of the Danube river. Some sank in shallow enough water to be permanent navigation obstacles, and now 20 are exposed by the drought which has been gripping southern Europe.<\/p>\n

Strewn across the Danube riverbed, some of the Nazi hulks still boast guns, turrets, command bridges, and broken masts said Reuters.<\/p>\n

According to The Washington Post<\/a>, many more ships are thought to be buried under the river’s sandbanks.<\/p>\n

Talking to local media<\/a>, junior Serbian transport minister Belimir Trajilovi? said that roughly 10,000 explosive devices are hidden within the exposed wreckage.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Other notable items the drought is revealing:<\/p>\n

In Spain, the Valdecanas reservoir has dried up and revealed a prehistoric stone circle dubbed the “Spanish Stonehenge,” officially known as the Dolmen of Guadalperal.<\/p>\n

It was discovered in 1926 but has been covered by water since 1963. It has only been fully exposed four times since, but it is again visible as authorities say the water level has dropped to 28% of capacity, Reuters reports.<\/p>\n

In Germany, medieval “hunger stones” <\/a>are revealed in dried-up rivers. The stones mark how low water levels got in previous devastating droughts.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I’m not taking sides in the whole ‘climate change’ thing with this\u00a0 (that the droughts have been repetitive through history seems to preclude that) but they’ve certainly had a bad year, despite recent rain there.<\/p>\n
