Where did the Scheer finally land up? I understand it was buried with rubble where it capsized in Kiel and a parking lot (sounds familiar), built over it.

It states on this site that from July 1945 - "Work on breaking up the wreck began under the supervision of the British authorities. All valuable metals and the gunhouses and turrets were removed before the bare torso of the ship was abandoned where she lay. When work commenced on the new naval arsenal, the remains were covered over with rubble to become the foundations for a large car park."
I took a look at Kiel on Google Earth.
Question is, is this the site on the Southeast docks area?
