ReplyDeleteIf you ever find yourself in Chicago, go to the Museum of Science & Industry. The museum is home to a ww2 vintage uboat that was captured at sea a couple days before D-Day. The boat is a type-IX, the long-range patrol. Details about the boat can be found at the museum's website or go to uboat.net and search for the U-505.
