Those photos of U-995
were taken in Laboe in September 2000. This is the only remaining Type VII U-Boat in Germany. It is located on the beach near the German Naval Memorial (Marineehrenmahl). U-995
was used by the Norwegian Navy after World War 2 as Kaura
and was given back to Germany as a museum ship when it was decommissioned. |
