Does anyone know what has happened to U-534
I just wondering what U-534 looks like today. A long lost mate of mine took this and a few other of U-534 photos in Jan/Feb 2000 for me. (see what AU$ do.) Wondering now I have the hang of scanning photos and uploading stuff, would this community like to see more of my photos. Should I post them here and send them to Terrapins site (sorry for the hassle Terra :oops:, computers are never fast enough, whether they were in the '80's or current :lol: )or just send them to Terrapins and let him be the JUDGE.

There are a fair number of websites about U534 and it's current state, this one's from google and it has some recent pics at the bottom of the page.

This is now a fantastic historical site to visit. There is a museum containing all the equipment they pulled off the sub, including BA, an enigma (If I remember rightly), pot & pans, crew personal items etc.
Then you get a guided tour of the sub - but can't take internal photos, unfortunately. The sub is unrestored, which I think is a good idea, as it is effectively a time capsule just as it was when the crew abandoned the boat in 1945 - pretty moving experience, actually... |
