It would be a much bigger story if a warship sunk in WWII was found somewhere other than the seabed.

During the operation it came under fire from Norwegian artillery, was torpedoed by a British submarine and was finally submerged by the Germans themselves, according to a Statnett statement.

Submerged? Probable translation error as in general usage submarines submerge but with the intention of surfacing afterwards. Better choice would be SANK!

Does anybody wish they could go back in time and witness WW2 as it happened?

Knowing how it will all end. That is the main thing.
