Explorers find Nazi sub off the Texas coast

On the floor of the Gulf of Mexico lies a Nazi ship of ghosts... evidence of how close World War II came to the shores of Texas.
It's a story most Americans never knew.
“And there’s a very good reason," said shipwreck diver Richie Kohler. "The United States government didn’t want us to know. They didn’t want us to know how Germany was taking us to task, how successful these U-boats were.â€
Nazi propaganda films trumpeted the triumphs of Hitler’s U-boats, submarines that sank thousands of Allied ships — primarily in the North Atlantic.
But there’s another story undocumented by films archived on the Internet. Nazi naval commanders dispatched 22 U-boats to prowl the Gulf of Mexico, including the Texas coastline.
Picture goodness at the link. The U-Boat held up rather well.
