Overtime question #5:
Why did the U-505 go to Chicago?
|
U-505 otherwise would be used as gunnery and torpedo target, but Father John Gallery contacted President Lenox Lohr of Chicago's Museum of Science and Industry and they already planned to display a submarine so U-505 was ideal for that. With donations of Chicago residents U-505 was transported to Chicago.
There in 1954 U-505 was dedicated as a permanent exhibit and a war memorial to all the sailors who lost their lives in the battle of the Atlantic.
(hopefully I didn't overlook something this time
