Very nice

One of these years I will get to a SUBSIM Meeting.
From where you are you could start walking north until you hit the top. The walk south to Copenhagen Bring warm clothing Sled dogs will help too


If it was later in the year I could skate there

Cool, a subsim meeting in Europe, I'll be there!

Already looking up air fares, and my wife allows me to go - but only if I buy her Danish wool - know any stores there? :rotfl:

I'll be attending for sure. It's just a matter of selecting which beach to land on.

Man, it would be awesome to have you there, Steve. Let me know what flights you find, so far I am looking at $850 RT flying in to Copehnhagen. I plan to arrive a day early and rent a car and take the 3 hours drive to Kiel to see the U-995, you are welcome to join me.
wait, how early is early?

Anyway, it's true.

A day early, Jason, arriving on the morning of the 16th. My plans are still under development, I have not bought a ticket yet so we can coordinate this over the next few weeks.

Laboe, and the U-995: the last survivng Type VII U-boat in the world (worth talking about).

Isn't there another type VII in Chicago? The U-995 is the last VIIC/41 as far as I remember.

Well anyways, if I should be able to make it, I'm gonna swing by Laboe for the memorial/U-995 and Bremerhaven, for U-2540. Either on my way up or back.

Although Wolfgang Peterson kept referring to the U-505 as a Type VII all throught the Das Boot director's commentary, I'm pretty sure it is a Type IX.

Are you German, Thomen? Would it make more sense for me to fly in to Hamburg, take a car to Kiel, then on to Copenhagen?

Yep, I am. Although I have not been in Kiel or north Germany for around 18 years. You will have to drive the distance anyways, so it does not really matter. Problem can be for the flight back, tho. You will have to get back to Hamburg. Personally, I would probably stick with Copenhagen.

EDIT:
Indeed, 505 was type IX
http://www.uboat.net/boats/u505.htm

Havent watch the commentary yet, so can't comment on what he says.

EDIT 2:
If possible, see if you can get a ticket for either to Hamburg and back through Copenhagen, or into Hamburg and Copenhagen for the flight back. That ought to be the best solution, but the Airlines really do not like stuff like that.

Neal, I'm no German (Or Dane), but wouldn't it be better to take a boat to Copenhagen? Or a direct plane flight?

Yeah, I really don't hold out much hope for a DC to Hamburg/Copenhagen to DC lineup, but that would be so cool!. I think you are right, just a flight into Cop. then arrange a car to zip over to Kiel, see Das Boot, then return to Cop.

I've been waiting to see U-995 since I was 9...about 40 years!

Better for me from Houston? Or better for you from...where are you again??
Or do you mean a boat from Cop. to Kiel and back?

Please be more clear, you know, I never passed Mindreading 101.
