Very impressed by the sonar image of U-864.
You can make out that it's an IXD2 very clearly (you can make out the two half cylinders on the aft section!) Also looks like the Turm got blown off from the torpedo strike. But after a little bit more looking at the image. I think I found the Turm. It's laying on it's side in the debris field by the aft end. Going to save that image and highlight my findings. Very impressive photo archive you've got U796. Still got a ways to go too, Not even in the 1000s |
