While a number of the subs were sunk during the war, the fleet successfully attacked dozens of Soviet ships, according to Russia Today (RT). The Nazis deliberately sunk three of the fleet’s submarines in 1944 to prevent the Soviets from capturing them. The scuttled submarines were thus dubbed “Hitler’s lost fleet.” According to RT, researchers also discovered another craft from the fleet, the U-20 submarine, in Turkish waters in 2008.At this point, only one submarine from the fleet remains missing, the U-19, which some believe is located in the waters adjacent to Zonguldak, Turkey.German U-23 submarine, one of the six warships from Adolf Hitler’s “lost fleet” in WWII, found in the Black Sea off the coast of Istanbul’s Şile https://t.co/ybpkSwEUlR pic.twitter.com/C2lhp6PLct— DAILY SABAH (@DailySabah) February 1, 2019Read Full-scale replica of Anne Frank’s annex to open in NYC NazisSubmarineWorld War II
