Hi again,

will place only some photos up here. Photobucket is soo slow.. but then it's free. Currently looking for another online picture reservoir..
Will be easier to put it on Box/Dropbox, and post the link, so only a few here.
And will not bore you with photos of the subs' interior, please look for those via the later dropbox link.
Regarding the captions please bear with me, maybe i misunderstood a few things


The memorial at Laboe:




The boat:




Bernhard? Schroeder??




The crew:




Some of the crew with Kaleun Paul (what was his last name?), handing out U-boat equipment for the mission :
He is an Oberleutnant in the Bundesmarine, and among other tasks, commanded to a 212A boat.






Paul or Neal? had reserved a special suite in the "Admiral Scheer" restaurant, which otherwise was exclusively used by members of the "Marinebund" or veterans of the KM. Again thanks for all this!




Conan in the control room:




Mouthpieces of speaking tubes, left for Doenitz, middle for Blitzkrieg, right for Neal
Blitzkrieg submitted a loud "Alaaarm Tauchen!!!" via his phone through one of the mouthpieces, we can only imagine what the visitors in the rear quarters thought
I also have a "ping" ringtone on my phone and was called by the wife right in the control room, it was all very crazy




Prepare for dive: Both Skvader developers at the diveplane controls:




Dan (one of the SH3/4/5 developers) and Blitzkrieg at the observation scope




Conan at the helm, turning his back on the controls..



Neal explains our course:



Neal and Dan have different opinions regarding our destination..



But then Dan seems to be enlightened by Neal's proposal:




Dan and "Deutschland!" in the control room, doing their thing




This is where we left the boat





All the best,
"Catfish"
