Wreck of Nazi Warship ‘Karlsruhe’ Found on Ocean Floor Off Coast of Norway

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.”
