Visiting U-boats

I travel to the states for work sometimes, just not Chicago yet

I saw U-505 when searching earlier today and it looks like an impressive exhibition.

Hmm strange.... I responded to this thread yesterday, but the response is gone....

Anyway, here goes again...

I am visiting U-995 this coming Easter as well

as part of a little holiday to visit the parents-in-law.

Hamburg is the closest airport as far as I know.

Trains are pretty good, so if you didn't want to get a car that should be no problem.

Depending on your schedule and time, I can also highly recommend visiting the Wilhelm Bauer (originally designated U-2540) which is a Type XXI U-boat. This is in Bremerhaven which is not too far away from Kiel.

Well worth the visit.

Enjoy your trip!
