An exhaustive exploration and identification of this wreck could rewrite the official historical account and raise intriguing and important questions about the presence of U-Boats along the Argentinian coast, the South Atlantic, and Antarctica, such as:
The discovery of this wreck has brought to the forefront pressing environmental concerns that necessitate urgent action. Similar vessels could have carried up to 200 tons of marine diesel, 1 ton of engine oil, and a large array of batteries and other electronics that will release heavy metals as they corrode. But the precise contents of this wreck remain unknown, so it is essential to consider historical references for context. For instance, the U-234, which surrendered to the United States Navy on May 14, 1945, was transporting a cargo of 540 kilograms of uranium dioxide. In another example, the wreck of the U-534, found near the Danish island of Anholt in 1993, revealed over 8 tons of unstable ammunition and active torpedoes. However, it is the case of the U-864, found near the Norwegian port of Bergen in 2003, that stands out as a sobering reminder of the potential risks involved. The submarine was laden with containers filled with liquid mercury, totaling a staggering 61 tons. Some of the 1,857 rusting steel flasks, each weighing 32 kilograms, were found to be leaking, posing a severe environmental threat. These historical precedents underscore the urgency of addressing the environmental implications associated with this newly discovered wreck. It is imperative to approach this situation with due diligence and prioritize environmental safeguarding measures.
The discovery of an unregistered U-Boat wreck off the coast of Argentina is as a rare and momentous historical find, holding potential implications for our understanding of World War II and the naval histories of Germany and Argentina. If indeed U-Boats covertly reached Argentina, it would imply a special operation requiring significant resources and intricate logistics. Additionally, it would have necessitated the complicity of various sectors of international power, considering that the seas were fully controlled by the Allies during the winter of 1945. Unraveling the truth behind this operation raises compelling questions: Who ordered it? What resources and logistics were involved? Who and what were being transported? Who covered it up? And why even today is it such a closely guarded secret? We firmly believe that this expedition has the potential to uncover ground-breaking historical revelations of immense global interest, ultimately making a remarkable contribution to the field of historical research, military history and incite the Argentine government to clarify the truth.
