U-505 and the type 7 U-boat in Laboe Germany and a type XXI, U-2540, now called Wilhelm Bauer in Bremerhaven and the type II are the last surviving relatively intact Uboats. It seems the museum where U-505 is has gone to great lengths to showcase the exhibit including sound effects and Diffused lighting on the hull of the sub to simulate the underwater effects.

Great to see you picked the clip that explains the 'cheese cutter' because I should imagine a great many people don't know precisely what method was used to cut her into the sections
