German World War II plane found at bottom of Aegean sea
The Junkers JU-52, a type of aircraft dubbed 'Iron Annie' that was once considered the workhorse transport plane of the Third Reich, was found at the bottom of the Aegean sea near the Greek island. Mystery surrounds what the plane was doing in the area, but the Nazis had a presence in Rhodes from 1943 and speculation is that it was either on a delivery mission or had possibly been transporting troops. It is also not yet known how the Luftwaffe plane met its fate or how many were on board when it went down. The wreck was found at a depth of about 245ft and to the east of the holiday island by specialist divers from 'Aegean Tec' who used GPS technology to track it down. Dramatic footage captured by divers shows the aircraft lying on the sea bed (pictured).
