Fun fact: There’s a direct Autobahn connection from the Rhine River to the museum where the U-Boot is being transported to.

But one of the bridges on that route isn’t rated for the U-Boot’s weight. So they had to float it from the Rhine to the Neckar River, rotate it on its side so it’ll fit under a few historic bridges, land it way upstream in a less populated area, remove loads of traffic lights and street signs, and transport it over land on back roads in a huge detour through multiple small town centers.

Everywhere it crossed there were street festivals with laser shows, fireworks and live music.

nuke OP ,

Wait, there was a submarine laser show??

Thank God for the precision of German transportation. In another country, he might have been left on a roadside for years due to potholes.

Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago has an original, captured WW-II U-505 submarine: www.msichicago.org/explore/…/u-505-submarine/

Being near a lake, they had a slightly shorter distance to travel over land. Here’s a time-lapse of them moving it into place: www.youtube.com/watch?v=DUuQIpVuhCg

Just to nitpick in the spirit of NCD, it’s not a U-505, it’s the U-505.

The Kriegsmarine didn’t name its submarines they numbered them, U-505 is its name.

The class is called Typ IXC, as in type nine subtype C. If you go to Germany they have some of the more obscure types on display like the Typ XXI, or even some Soviet ones.

I remember a story where a dude bought a t-34 or maybe a Sherman, and the HOA threatened to have it towed. 🤣
