When I read U-534 was going to be a museum, but they were going to cut the ship into sections, I was livid. I think this is one of the dummest ways of displaying any ship, car, or plane. I really dislike "nose" displays at museums that are becomming more and more common. This is where due to lack of space, the nose with the cockpit is cut off, the rest of the plane stored or scrapped, and the flight deck being made accesible. This was the original idea for the Enola gay, till much protesting was heard, and now the entire ship is on display...like it should be.
Cutting this one of a kind boat up I think is the stupidest thing they can do. They should have gotten the props crew from DAS BOOT to restore the thing inside and out, and left the thing intact.
This museum's move I think is a captitol crime.
