Nifty site

I'd done a search here before posting this, on the off-chance that it's been posted before. I didn't see any sign of it, so hopefully this'll be new.

This site has a 'walk-through' of the U-boat U-505, with really excellent colour photos (and detailed explanations to 'boot') of the command room. (http://ubootwaffe.net/u505/index.html). It appears that, as it progresses, they'll be adding more sections of the boat as walk-through exhibits.

Does anyone happen to know what the brackets he mentions on this page (http://ubootwaffe.net/u505/cr_ca.html) held? If you do, I'm sure he'd love to find out.

Thanks!

Maybe we should contact the site owner and give him a Subsim and Silent Hunter welcome?

Sounds good! The site is really informative, i leqrned things i haven't thought of before. Like the diveplane-buttons on the wheel. They were used most of the time, and the wheel only during silent running, because the electric engines connected to the buttons made a lot of noise. this is good stuff!
