Hello my name is Peter from Germany,
My family has a house on an Italian Island in the mediterrean sea since 1950
When I was small my father told me a story I never forgot.
When he was 18 a friend of my grandfather a German Sportdiver and my father should help a Italian Fishermen who knew, that they had Diving Equiment, because his fishernet was hooked.
At that time, trere weren't many people with diving Equipment, so they went on the open sea with the fishermen and thay dived down to the ground of the net.
Down on 60 meters they saw a very big german U boat.
The net was hooked on it.
They saved the net and went up to the fisher boat.
Because of the depth of the u boat and the case that they found a war grave they didn't tell the fisherman that there was a u-boat.
The friend of my grandfather died 2 years ago.
my father still knows where the ship is.
What do you think, should we do now ?
Greetings Peter
