From the June 15, 2012 Fox News "WWII plane wreck not a Stuka but larger JU88."
A plane wreck was found in the Baltic Sea and turned out to be a twin engine JU88 which shared parts with the Stuka JU87.
The Stuka was a better-known plane but the Germans had far more JU88s. There are very few remaining examples of the JU88. One is in the RAF Museum in England.
This plane will eventually be displayed at the German Historical Museum's Air Force Museum at the former Gatow Airport in Berlin.

My Cooter's History Blog has become about 80% World War II anyway, so I figured to start a blog specific to it, especially since we're commemorating its 70th anniversary and we are quickly losing this "Greatest Generation." The quote is taken from Pearl Harbor survivor Frank Curre, who was on the USS Tennessee that day. He died Dec. 7, 2011, seventy years to the day. His photo is below at right.
