BERLIN (Sputnik) – Earlier this week, Swedish media reported that the submarine detected by the Swedish military in the waters of the southern Stockholm archipelago on April 14, 2015 could belong to Germany.

"In June, a Swedish film-maker requested information on whether German submarines were deployed in Swedish territorial waters in 2015. They weren’t there," Flossdorf told reporters.

According to Swedish media reports, submarine only surfaced for a few seconds, then disappeared and reappeared again for a short time. Following the incident, the country’s military forwarded all gathered information to the government. Stockholm officially recognizes the submarine's country of origin as unknown.
