back in the dim and distant past, when I was playing SH3 and working out of Kiel, on route to the beloved Kanal I would, on occasion, tootle over to the soaring edifice of the Naval War memorial which dominated the right-hand bank, just to admire it and pay mental respects. Well, here I am at Kiel again, only now in my shiny new SH5 Untersee Boot, and I could not find it anywhere - it would be hard to miss. So, I googled and found that there is a U-boat memorial place approximately opposite the entrance to the Kanal - but it is a much less imposing structure and possibly set back from the shore-line as I could not see that either. The memorial I am thinking of is actually situated several miles north of the Kanal, just as Kiel Bay starts to narrow into a fjord - still on the right at least, but not at all where I think it is placed in SH3. Do I remember wrongly and is the Laboe Memorial in SH5? It surely ought to be. I would like to go see it if so :)
