We translated an old article about a project to raise the U804, that was believed to carry tons of platinum.

Video with Aage telling about gear found on U534

We found this picture showing a bit of drama that took place when the U-534 was raised. As the picture shows, paparazzis was a also a problem before they got very famous themselves by causing the death of Princess Diana. The pilot is violating a restricted no-fly zone, that was authorised during the salvage operation, because the submarine did contain 14 torpedoes each carrying approx 500 kg of explosives. The mixture of a helicopter flying near the steelcables from the crane and tons of high explosives wasn’t very welcome …

We got a new gallery ready with a small sneak-peak into the many thousands of documents that was found inside the U-534.

A new gallery with some of the many things that was found on the German submarine U-534 in 1993. Not a lot of nazi-gold or the body of Hitler, but a lot of interesting things anyway.
Soon some of the many Nazi documents, that was found onboard will be online too.
