As a kid I remember reading of a relatively intact B-17 found lying there once the Zuyder Zee got drained.
I still can't believe it got scrapped that late, I think it would have been in the 70s by then...

I don't know if a version of this program ever reached the US, so I thought I'd post a YouTube link to it. It's a BBC documentary from 1981 detailing some of the work of Gerri Zwanenburg and the Dutch AF, which was much repeated on TV over here in the UK. The audio and visual quality aren't the best, but it's still worth watching. The program starts three minutes into the clip.
