German Warships Surface in Danube River as It Recedes

From August 19, 2022, ABC News "Severe European drought reveals sunken World War II warships on the Danube River" by Kyla  Guilford.

Europe's scorching  drought has revealed  the hulks of dozens of German warships that sank during WW II near Serbia's river port town of Prahovo.  The ships were part of the German  Black Sea fleet in 1944  that were sunk as Soviet forces advanced.

Now, over 20 vessels have come to the surface as river levels fall.  Many are still loaded with ammunition.  These ships are causing problems with the river traffic.

I am trying to find out more about this story and place it in history, but all I keep getting is what is happening with them right now.  I'll keep looking.
