I recently read the book, "Shadow Divers", which tells the story of the discovery of U-869. I understand they're filming a movie based on the book as well. A pretty incredible (and lucky) find considering it was believed to have been sunk near Gibralter. Pretty surprising what you can find in places you'd never expect.

Check this for another surprise from WWII: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.../wplane115.xml
