Wreck of Nazi Warship ‘Karlsruhe’ Found on Ocean Floor Off Coast of Norway
September 13, 2020
Underwater engineers found an ugly piece of history earlier this summer. It was the wreck of a Nazi warship, off the coast of Norway. The remains of the German boat were first detected by sonar three years ago. But when crews from a Norwegian power company were able to examine the wreck more closely, they were startled to find that it was emblazoned with a swastika. The Norwegian Maritime Museum was able to confirm that the old hulk was the German cruiser “Karlsruhe.”
