Hi Guys,
Following the post of Flak88 on the visit of U.505, i wonder where can we else see U.Boot across the world.
There is U.505 in Chicago, it seems to me that there is one in Germany (Kiel??) and one in the United Kingdom (Scapa Flow??).
Thank you for your help?
Olivier

U-995 is placed in Laboe in front of the Navy memorial, some kilometers away in M******246;ltenort is the U-Boot memorial.




If You want to spend a weekend there, around Laboe there are many guesthouses and small hotels and a lot of good and cheap restaurants.

If You want to see the Marine Ehrenmal and enter the U-Boot, it cost just 5,50 € and it's worth much more.

There is one here in the UK in a place called Birkenhead right by me. It’s a rusty one which was raised from the sea, U-534? I think. It used to be open for guided tours but isn’t any longer. Unfortunately I myself kept putting off going until it was too late!

There are not too many U-Boats around. Many were scuttled and/or sunk, so there aren't many that can be used for museums unfortunately. Gunmunder Helgason's website (http://uboat.net) is probably the best site for you to look at in regards to U-Boats.

Also, if you want the shipping sunk, there is a book called "Axis Submarine Successes 1939-1945" by Jurgen Rohwer that details the victories of the German, Italian, and Japanese submarines, the date/locations/nationalities/tonnages/types of vessels, and so much more information. It also gives the losses of Axis submarines by Allied vessels. There is absolutely zero photographs, no interesting text. Its just a table of victories and losses, and I think maybe a few charts of the Atlantic and Pacific.

Neverthless, its a plethora of information that will really help you understand how you can go from the "Happy Times" of Operation Drumbeat to the days when submarines were barely able to leave their pens without being located.
