“It lay in front of us like a ghost ship”, Vilfredo Schürmann remembers the moment when he saw the first pictures that the diving robot sent from the depths in March 2012. For nine years, the German-born Brazilian and his team had searched the coastal waters of Brazil for traces of German submarines that crossed there 70 years ago - since Brazil entered the war on the side of the Allies. After years of searching, he was there: At a depth of 130 meters, Schürmann discovered the wreck of the U 513, a German long-range submarine of the type IX C, which had previously been considered lost.
