Topic: WWII Submarine Tour

[slabbedask]

My home town Trondheim, Norway was a German submarine base during WWII, and the big DORA submarine bunker is still here. Today it's been converted to civillian use...
The U-995 that now is a museum in Kiel, Germany, were at the Trondheim base when the war ended, and served with the Norwegian navy until the sixties. It's a Type VIIC/41 U-boot.

If anyone haven't seen the movie "Das Boot" by Wolfgang Petersen, they've missed out on the best war movie ever!!

Have you read the book Iron Coffins by Herbert Werner? Probably the best book written about serving aboard and then commanding a submarine in WWII.
