It was a great time, thanks for coming out to meet. Glad to get a chance to shake your hand.

I seem to have no group pics on my phone so I will have to rely on one of you for the photo....

Well I suspiciously considered the Wilbur Plotnik (anonymous account: I always do this) thing before posting a 'welcome aboard'; looked it up and noted a few downloads and a very current album-deemed it an authentic 1st post and was jus' bein' hospitable! Neal has crossed his own "T'... and takes my advice! Naturally I've sent a Conan a friendship request!

[QUOTE=BL!TZKR!EG;2424763]Thank you for this friendly note!
I hope the report gives you an insight.
Pictures will follow by Catfish, Einar and Oscar

It certainly sounds like a worthwhile trip and I'm glad you got to go. Too bad the weather didn't cooperate . I'm sure it was a trip the others won't soon forget either. I will look for pictures from the trip and thanks for taking them.

Now I really want to see U- 995.

Hello all!!
This was great but much too short, thanks so much to all who were able to come. We arrived late due to at least four different traffic jams all the way up to Kiel, accompanied by torrential rain falls now and then, for our entertainment. Was very nice going there and meet you, only downside was Penguin didn't make it.

So we were late and waited here and there, walked up to the Memorial checking all entrances but missing the vital one
Schroeder then took the stairs up to the platform (57 meters) while i lazily guarded the elevator doors down there, but they must have been at the lower hall.. so Schroeder and me had some ..err.. challenges to find the rest, after all we only knew how Neal looked like, and the telephones seemed to have an all-day problem

Being able to access Subsim via phone and looking for pms we finally got the real telephone number of some "Conan" , and what can i say he is a real nice guy and did not even look or behave as barbarian as we first thought

All the best,
Catfish

Will upload the photos soon here, this evening

I nearly blacked out half way through (that was because of the high altitude and not me being a couch potato of course) but I managed to climb the whole thing just to find nobody on the platforms...

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"
