December 17, 2012 WWII Soviet Submarine Found In Baltic Sea The
wreck of a Soviet submarine lost during World War II has been
found in the Baltic Sea off Sweden's eastern coast. The Swedish
Navy confirmed the wreck was found southeast of the Baltic
island of Oland. It said it believed the submarine sank in 1941.
It was found in an area mined by German forces during the war.
The navy published a video and still images of the submarine on
its website. It said Russian authorities have been notified of
the location so they could prepare a memorial ceremony at the
site, which is considered a war grave. Based on reporting by AP,
