Re: Wreck of Graf Zeppelin found!

She was reportedly loaded with Type 21 U-Boat components. She capsized while under tow to Russia.

Re: Wreck of Graf Zeppelin found!

There appears to be conflicting information as to what caused the GZ to sink. I've heard, as previously noted she sank while being towed however based on the commentary described on the link I listed below, it was sunk by a combination of charges and torpedoes of the Soviet Navy. Any thoughts, insight.

Very interesting topic.

Cheers
