Doesn't matter, I like the bench . It stays as long as nobody can proof wether it was there in WWII or not.
Actually I think that what Jim and Steve (and I) are saying is that it's very likely the bench was in fact part of the boat's original wartime German design. It's clealy there in the picture, which had to have been taken after the RN captured U-570 in 1941 but before she was lost in 1944, and it's unlikely that the bench was added by the British during that time.
