zeitgeist57 Posted September 21, 2013 Report Share Posted September 21, 2013 I only learned a few years ago that German U-boats were this close to American shores during WWII. Very interesting to see U.S. divers able to video and catalogue these shipwrecks. http://news.discovery.com/history/videos/archaeology-divers-plumb-depths-for-u-boats.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrendanB Posted September 27, 2013 Report Share Posted September 27, 2013 Read a book when I was younger about a German sub that was found off the coast of New York, definitely crazy how close to the US Soil they really got Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
