Great shots Nick, thanks for sharing those. Did you notice the pigeons that used to reside on the hull near the depth charge impact holes? It always made me smile whenever I saw them. It is such a shame though...she should have been covered, not cut up.
Regards,

No I didnt see the resident pigeons Carl !
I just cant believe they never restored the whole thing, it could have looked like U-995 !

Re: U-995 in Kiel - my videos.
There was a rumour that the chap who financed the operation to raise U-534, was planning another...but that was a while ago and I haven't heard anything else about it. Would be great though.

Great videos-you must have had a super day checking out every nook and cranny! Is a shame there's only a few left of these old warriors! They should preserve these bits of History better! Once they are gone, they are gone forever! Thanks for the vids! Glad to see at least one of these boats is still in solid shape! William

And such a shame you live so far away, I would have loved to take you there to see it with me

Hi
You live far away, but it really is worth it, the museum is interesting as well.
