The lowest water level ever measured on the Danube: The river's bloody history is revealed

The Danube River has reached its lowest water level ever recorded, raising concerns among experts from Croatian Waters, who spoke with the team from Dnevnik Nova TV. This low water level disrupts the ecosystem, fish populations, irrigation channels, and navigation routes. Additionally, the exposed riverbed has revealed remnants from World War II, including two unexploded bombs removed during the war. The Battle of Batina in 1941, often referred to as the 'Little Stalingrad,' was particularly brutal, and the Danube still holds traces of that conflict, such as vehicles, ships, and bombs. Local legends claim the river ran red with blood during those battles.
