German wrecks visible in Danube

<HTML>Caught a glimpse on ITV news on Sunday of a "Nazi battleship" that has become visible in the Danube which is flowing at extremely low levels. Apparently the Germans scuttled many ships in an effort to hold up the advancing Russians. I've tried to find pictures on the net but no luck yet. Any ideas - any more info anyone?

Changing the subject - I visited U534 back in September 96 when she'd not long been at Birkenhead. Absolutely fascinating. I've also been through U995 (?) at Laboe in 1985 - the Bundesmarine museum there was superb. Best of the lot was November 84 when I had a look round and inside the Gneisenau turret at Austraat, Trondheim.

But if anybody knows where more info is on those wrecks in the Danube?</HTML>
