Trample on history in the name of progress. The two are not mutually exclusive. :roll:

[Capt. Shark Bait]

[sqk7744]

I visited U505 in Chicago, very memorable, lets keep History in 1 piece!!!

[LtCmdrRat]

Done. I do not understand people and govt's that let die historical relicts.

prolly cuz of who/what it represents
In this case it is historical naval art masterpiece of WWII and memorial of thousands of german submariners which gave their life for Germany. For Germany and not for Nazi's. As well as most Russian soldiers gave their life for Russia, not for Stalin and Bolsheviks.
Soldiers always pay by their lifes for politicians poker games.

History is not made of scrapmetal. It is made through the blood sweat and tears and sacrifice of our fathers. The metal was only the tools.

Still its nice to have historical relics in order to help us remember those sacrifices.

I signed it.

[Red Penguin]

You know they're not scrapping it, right? They're slicing it into 3 pieces and glassing over each section so people can see inside. It'll still be a museum exhibit.

I still disagree, and signed the petition, but you shouldn't be signing petitions when given false impressions.

Psssst... dont tell Zogby :cool:

Read the following link:

As you can see, plans are in the works to raise another. As one might find it's final end, another will be brought to life again.


I had thought U534 had found a home. At any rate, I signed anyway.

[Salty Longshanks]

Signed. One of hopefully many more. Irreplaceable treasures one, and all.

It IS going to a museum, that's what you're protesting AGAINST. Read what you sign!

[mrbeast]

Signed Both! Also I'm gonna email the link to my friends to stop this from happening. Why they need to butcher her like this I don't know I could think of a half dozen interesting ways to display her without cutting her in three! :cry: :nope:

[robbierob2005]

I signed it!

[hyperion2206]

I signed it as well. It might go to a museum, but they shouldn't destroy it and that's just what they'll do if they cut the boat in three pieces.:stare::nope:
Imagine they would cut HMS Victory in 3 pieces to make it easier to see anything.:88)

[captiandon]

I signed it. Would be a shame to see it go

[hawk2495]

I signed it. the only way for someone to see what those men went through is to actually walk through that boat, not look at it through a window. the 534 deserves the same respect as the 505 maybe more since she was sunk and presumed dead, but here she is for all to see 60 years later. kind of a lazarus story i think.... well ... sort of. anyway, end of rant lol.:arrgh!:
