I'd have gone and had a look at this if I'd known it was there
still, it isn't moving too far away it seems:

Hate to see them cut it into sections.
We have WWll subs over here on display and all they did was to cut the deck open so a staircase could be install for tourists to use.
Glad to see it isn't going to scrap!

I'll be having a look at the U434 in a couple of days, does this mean to say I have to take my camera with me?

[Rick]

sounds like an excellent plan UJ

Lets hope that I can remember to take it with me then....

[Uncle Joe]

I've not managed to get a look at the U434 yet, but I have found out that it is not german, but russian...were they given such names to confuse the enemy?

[Uncle Joe]

As promised, photos of the U434. If anyone is ever in Hamburg, its well worth a visit. As is the Miniature Wonderland for that matter, for those of us that are still kids at heart!

[Old-Nail]

Is that a type XXI UJ?

I'm more familiar with the type VII like the one used in 'Das Boot' (an excellent portrayal for those who haven't yet seen it)

[Uncle Joe]

When I first heard about it, I thought that it was a WW2 german U boat. It was only just before my trip I discovered that it was russian...

Its a Tango class boat from 1974 if I remember correctly. Still well worth a visit though. As is the rest of Hamburg, especially for those that have an interest in WW2 history.
