Dears,

Here is long story one Ju188 D-2 which emergency landed on the ice of lake Mamry in Poland in 1945. It was long time ago and wrack was cancelled !

"'...On the diving club in Gdansk - "Shark" I found extremely interesting for me (and I presume other explorers) information about the discovery dating back over 40 years:

"In the autumn 1961. Diving team" Shark "found on the bottom of the lake at a depth of 12m Mamry the twin-engine long-range aircraft Junkers intelligence" JU-188 D-2. "Six-five of our divers in 9-five days brought out on the shore near Węgorzewo complete plane. in the hull were two large photographic cameras and the latest German electronics with radar. In 9.10.1944r produced aircraft and landed in full on the surface of a frozen lake in January 1945. due to engine failure. " ..."'

''...History sinking JU 188 is quite interesting and probably true. According to eye witnesses, the plane shot (in one of the engines) landed on the ice, the ice could not take the weight and the plane settled on the bottom, and at the airport. Germany had bad luck, just because they came down underwater lake bottom configuration as 30 - 40 m to the front was a depth of 2 - 3 m of 40 (??? -maybe 4) person crew reportedly survived one of the pilots who use the self-contained breathing apparatus and colleagues took the body completely demolished navigation array. According to witnesses, he was hiding in the area until 1947. ..."'
