Hello all,

there´s also a very interesting, but not so well known place to visit once you make it over to Germany and searching for U-Boat history. It´s the "Traditionsarchiv Unterseeboote", located at Cuxhaven at the North Sea shores. The "Archive" actually consists out of two buildings; the Museum which is full of collected items from two Uboat Wars (Uniforms, Medals, Models, Weapons, etc.), and the Archive which keeps records and photos from almost every German submarine which serviced during WW2 (and partly also WW1). The "Traditionsarchiv" is run by Mr. Horst Bredow, who was a Watch Officer on a German U-Boat during the WW II.
The main target is to keep the memory of the U-Boats and the men in service alive.
From my own experience I can tell You that it is fascinating to see such a massive collection of U-Boat history at one place; there isn´t anything else in the world which offers more data and information on that topic. Visitors are always welcome, it is suggested to call and make an appointment before visiting.

Beste Grüsse,
