Hitler's Lost fleet located

Guten Morgen Kaluens...And that is the extent of my knowledge of German.I just came across an article in my local paper (Montreal Gazette) that spoke of the 30th Flotilla being found at the bottom of the Black Sea off the Turkish Coast. I was able to find a more in depth article on the web page of the Telegraph in London, England that had some photo's and a link to more pics of the boats. Made for an interesting read for me this morning and thought some of you might be interested in it also. This is the link to the Telegraph article. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main...whitler103.xml

VERY interesting. They are also candidates for being salvaged and restored, providing there isn't too much damage, because they aren't war graves.

Outside of the Vesikko, there isn't a Type II that you can visit. It would be especially great if they could get U-23, because of the association with Kretschmer.

That would pretty much just leave the Type XXIII as the last major type of U-boat without an example you can visit (which is typical, the XXIII is always the bastard child that never gets any press or simulation, despite being a successful class).
