First practice in front of a mirror before trying it on others.
Hm. Or better don't.

mookimookie mentioned the language.........don't worry about it. Most speak english and most of the music on the radio and movies on the tv are in the original English with Danish subtitles. Where I live in Jutland they even celebrate the 4th. of July. Not to mention St. Patrick's day!
I am Irish and have lived in other countries before landing in Denmark 15 years ago. I speak the lingo. I have a European driving licence (does not cover a bus unfortunately) and am off the drink, so if the general idea is to hire cars, I would not mind driving. |

You guys might be interested in the pics here. I stumbled over this by chance while checking a site that was related to something different:

All!
Make sure you all visit the U-995 as it is a once-in-a-life-time experience. I can advice you to view Das Boot afterwards as soon as possible collectively as everything falls in place. Our last type VIIC in the world. Do not bump your head! After a few attempts you will get smoothly through these At the right under the wooden desk there is a simple tdc. In the memorial across the road you will find a more sophisticated one: Depth control. The famous large depth meter with green-yellow-red wasn't there (should be right): was it stolen or under repair? Question to all captains: what are those red switches on those tubes used for?

Neal,
With 15 visitors on board this ship is becoming crowded. Sailing with 44-50 crewmembers and all fishes in stock I leave up to your imagination. Do not forget to check her history: http://www.uboat.net/boats/u995.htm Although it scored a low tonnage still more than 120 sailors perished from her tubes. Rik |

Question - would it be possible to arrange something with the "masters of U-995" / museum curator in order to visit the conning tower too ?

Keep us informed, if it works out. There's also the info about the Memorial tower on the site. I think we should get up there too, while we're there...

The situation has changed. The person that works on TT-lines, is sick-listed. Now I'm thinking on taking my own car.
I use my GPS from either Copenhagen or Helsingor to Rødbyhavn. From Puttgarden to Laboe someone has to guide me. Or maybe I take the ICE-train from Copenhagen(dep. 0742 arriv. 0934 at Rodby.) that offcourse, is a little bit cheaper. Markus Last edited by mapuc; 09-03-09 at 07:20 PM. |

It is possible: you'll get him in a corner and ask him endless questions while we climb up the ladder. doh :rotfl:
