>everyone today knows Tesla

Tesla was less known for a long time, until a best-selling biography that centered around how he was very little known. Paradoxically, he became famous for not being famous, and for decades he was a household name always coupled with "but nobody knows who he is!"

Funny that another story now uses the same rhethoric about someone else.

Just a nitpick, but the Nazis left the ammunition/munitions, locals had to clean it up. And at the time, the general consensus about any kind of trash is that "if it won't burn, it'll sink".

If we knew the amount of 1960s washing machines on the bottom of Norwegian fjords, we'd be surprised.
