The main thing is that no sources have any information regarding the fate of this U-Boat after 1959.But,itself,that is something really outstanding when U-Boat fights successfully the most horrible war in history,gets scuttled,rises again as Phoenix out of arches,and serves for another 14 years.The most special U-Boat of BDU OKM,I think,even more special than all other legends - U-47,U-48,U-96.
Man,modern nuclear submarines sink in calm waters without any action...and here such endurance after being depth charged,bombed,and after all scuttled.I have no words,just no words.   An example of outstanding quality of German arms manufacturers.Those who say,that Kalashnikov assault rifle is the most reliable warfare device in the world - make a great mistake. |
Iwould have said the atomic bomb.....it quite probably killed more people in less than a week (not 100% certain)....and ended the war more quickly....and most importantly, has prevented any further world wars since it's invention/creation. :hmm:
