@Viper_NZ @Ilovethebomb , thinking about it: Shouldn't the country responsible for its sinking pay for the cleanup?
Or like with capitalism, are profits privatized and costs socialized?
Ie is the damage done by war faring countries forgotten and is there no accountability?
We declared war on Germany, and the German state that was involved in that conflict no longer exists.
It might be worth a shot trying to get Germany to pay for it, but regardless, we just need to muck in and get it done.
The German government has actually offered to help with the investigation and cleanup, although I don't have a source to hand for that.
So yes, they have actually offered to help.
