U
BOOT Laboe / Kiel U995 was in service during world war II. It sunk several Allied boats in the Northern seas on their route to Russia. Hi Farmer Phil, we discussed U-boats so I made this page for you to see the U995 in Kiel, Germany. It sits on the beach You pay in the booth This is Henk, our boy-next-door who traveled with us, The boat was full with gauges, tubes, valves... everywhere! One of the two Diesel engines "E-maschine" levers Beds that were always occupied. On top are the 'lockers' of the crew. Depth rudder (I guess) Vocal pipe :-) 1940ties 'High tech' position indicators There was one big door ... But Henk did also the U-boot crew door-dive Torpedo rail, still usable Henk between torpedo tubes One is still in there And Henk is launching it. Exit-door Henk is sheltering for the rain :-) This is me Other side of the boat Screws City of Kiel and a ferry leaving for Scandinavia Rudders The building on the beackground is a monument for the fallen serviceman in the first- and second world war. Guns on top Henk My wife Tina "Dogs must be kept on leash" So we did ;-) Well, those beach chairs just had numbers on it. But when you just visited a German U-boat you might read something else ;-) Our trip to the D-day beaches in Normandie Our trip to 'the battle of the Bulge' |
