I saw a program recently a German U-boat that was torpedoed in 1945 off of Norway. It was carrying mercury and engine parts to Japan in a desperate attempt to turn the tide of a lost war. I recognize this is considered a grave site. But what these kinds of shows never answer — and don't even pose — is the obvious one, what happens to bodies that go down when a ship or sub sinks after many years? Are skeletal remains all that is left? Or more? Could identification be possible after passage of 60 years? Thanks.
