For those wondering, the body on the thumbnail is of a dead sailor who was part of the franklin expedition in 1845. Long story short, 120 men lost their lives in the Canadian arctic.

I think it's a shame that the decision was made to destroy Hitler's bunker. It was a historical monument to the fall of the Third Reich. Today, seeing those underground rooms in the center of Berlin would be a first-class tourist attraction.

Back in the late 70s I worked in London with a chap who did his national service at R.A.F. Maston in Kent. He told me that, in the 50s, they buried Spitfires in a quarry there. Lots of legends of buried Spitfires around.

Fact that you used a picture completely unrelated to ww2 and or Germany.... that image is from the Franklin Expedition....

You can’t erase the past no matter what you destroy.

U505 sits in the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago. I saw it 40 years ago, and again 2 weeks ago in its new “wing” in the museum. Priceless. You can still see the shelling it took from the American ships. It is open to take the tour inside of the sun as well. Excellent job by the museum to surround it with the entire story and all the facts of the events and of that time in history.

The pic of body on the opening is a frozen sailor in Canadian north

British sailors from HMS Bulldog captured the first naval Enigma machine from U-110 in the North Atlantic in May 1941, months before the United States entered the war and three years before the US Navy captured U-505 and its Enigma machine.

Did they find the USS Hammann next to the Yorktown? It was a fletcher class destroyer that was tied up to the Yorktown trying to put out her fires during Midway battle when Hammann was cut in two by a japanese torpedo. Went down with all hands, or nearly all hands. I built a model of the Hammann and read its story on the box.

Bletchley park was up and running with an enigma machine years before the Americans captured U-505 with a enigma on board.

I visited the Uboat in Chicago. Not noted here, it wasn’t brought in by train because of its giant size, but rather floated up river and across the Great Lakes and planted on the shore next to the Field Museum. It was outdoors at the time of my visit, about 1997. Apparently they built it a nice home and shined it up.

I had the honor to meet one of the operation Berhard counterfeiters, a slowakian KZ(concentration camp) survivor, who gave a testimony at our school. It was a fascinating story.

this is fascinating!! thank you for sharing this. it makes me wonder how much of these treasures ended up in private collections? in some attic some where until taken to a yard sale or second hand store. maybe even thrown away because they don't know the significance. knowledge is lost so easily.

-
my grandfather served on the HMS Rodney and his ship sank the bismark
-
The Burma Spitfire project did find buried boxes. they sent down cameras and the one box they managed to access was seemingly full of water. The project continued to find more hits however they were unable to excavate due to critical poweand data lines being overhead in the ground

Sad to think of how all the veterans of the war will all be gone soon🥲
-

The USS Yorktown was sunk by our own torpedoes after being abandoned by her crew due to battle damage.
