U-534's fate decided

:hmm: Hmm, a difficult one. On one hand I would LOVE to have seen her in all her glory in one piece. But on the other hand I am going to LOVE going round the inside of a U-boat and trying to imagine what it would have been like.

I think to say its a disgrace is too far. A disgrace would have been to just get rid of her in whatever means necessary.

Shame, but I am somewhat happy that she'll still be on display. Had I of gotten charge of slicing her to bits, I would have sliced her clean down the middle (bow to stern) and then fixed up the interior. Then, I'd put her in a warehouse behind a rail so visitors could still look inside. The final product would look something like this:

(I'm emphasizing on how one can look inside via the missing starboard hull piece.)

Stuipid people, cutting stuff up is wrong.

She was in very poor shape and should had been indoors not out. So they finally cut her up, what a crime.

The best way you could possibly learn about the submarine war is to be in the boat just as the guys back then were. Only then could you understand the claustrophobia and the hazards.

This is a pathetic waste of history.

You have just managed to contradict yourself. At first you speak as if you like the idea...

So, take the rusted U-boat, clean her up, cut her up into pieces that the public can go through and see what it was like.

But then you said this...
