    Yeah, you put the link in correctly.  :-)It's interesting that they don't know how the ship met its end.  I imagine that there are more secrets of the end of World War II that we don't know about that are still hidden in vaults of information in Russia.

    I never realized Hitler had an aircraft carrier built.  Why he thought he needed one is beyond me, but that must have been a nice trophy for the Soviets.  I would say the Soviets benefitted from Nazi engineering and technology after the war just like America did in rocket technology.

    In fact there should have been two German Aircraft Carriers. The other was the Peter Strasser. Both hulls were laid down in 1936 but only the Graf Zeppelin was actually launched? (in 1938).
