They don't let you go on the inside anymore?

Yeah you still get to go inside but NO photography. They have the Enigma machines and other stuff in display cases in the main display area. I got a few pix of those that I will post soon.

The gun platforms, there was a job not worth getting a tan over (farmers one at that).

Closer look at the fly swatter. This one was mounted on the ground:

Nice

On Google Earth I was looking at Breverhaven, you can see a Type XXI that is on display there.

For those that have not used Google Earth, great little program for seeing the world. In the larger centres\cities, the detail level is pretty amazing.

You lucky bugger!

I'm trying to get to Chicago for work in the next few months, and this is definitely something I want to see.

Figure I would show one of the top prizes of the capture, one of two Enigma machines that are on display.

There's a VIIC at Kiel, or at least, there used to be. I walked through it 20 years ago.
