I was there a month ago. I have been there since I was 11. I’m 53. I love this place.

When I last saw U-505 it was outside in front of the museum....that was a long time ago.

I’ll never forget this place

@HAMISH VLOGS how was it?

[@nmcg2587]

Incredible exhibits! Thanks for sharing this.

Quite an amazing museum. I was there in 2010, so it's been a while. The Spitfire and Stuka are both war veterans and NOT renovated or repainted. The Spit is a veteran of the Battle of Britain, and the Stuka still has holes from British flak. The U-boat is a museum unto itself, as Marke says below. They have music playing onboard the boat that is recorded from records found onboard, so you are listening to the same music that the crew did. The story of U-505 is worth looking up elsewhere. A couple of movies were based on the story of its capture and that of another U-boat to get the Enigma coding machine. The aircraft and the U-boat are the real deal and virtually untouched.

Best time to go is during the Christmas season

[@rustyshackleford5269]

Christmas trees from around the world is amazing.

I remember seeing U-505 (outside) the museum as a kid and the the thing that strikes me today is this is NOT a movie prop, men died on this boat and were killed from here (8 Allied Ships). One prior 505 Captain, while under depth charge attack, pulled out his service pistol and killed himself on the bridge in front of his crew. I don't think anyone can imagine what it would be like at 700 feet, under multiple ship depth charge attacks for 30 hours, the stink, the filth and the fear... Only 1 out of 4 German submariners survived to return home.

Im not visitet the museum yet , but the day when has the opportunity and stand on front of the U -505i will remember your comment and I will pay my respect for all lost life . Peace.

[@marke8323]

@@_Sputnik74 You must go, it is the best Museum I have ever been too. What I liked about it, many things are "hands on" and a fascinating learning place. Plus they have a giant model train layout, what Man-child doesn't love that? :-)

The music isn’t necessary

[@lauraqtsigns5879]

Every time I visit, the U-505 tour is full. Thank you for showing lots of the sub!

[@CFLACk8472]

Good choice of music.

Used to haunt that place as a kid, when my grandparents lived at 60th & Stoney Island Avenue. Last time I was there was 6+ years ago, and only had time to go through a small part of it with family members. Don't know when I'll ever get back. :(

[@byronscherer4986]

Awesome place

[@rickhaynes8148]

I remember going there when I was a kid all the time

[@rickhaynes8148]

Hope I get to see it one more time

[@tnphotobug]

AWESOME!! Great job! Thank you so much for sharing.

[@richardlaux2299]

Good video, thanks.

[@manymemes8203]

I haven't been there sience 2014 but my favorite part by far is the submarine exhibit

[@reginapauly338]

I have been there in 1964

[@nikolasfields7478]

I take that back I like the song at 8:04

[@butterflyagbutterflyag3974]

I got to go inside the uboat

[@jeramiahjohnson4046]

I was able to go into the sub twice. Once I went with my family. Very young. The other I was on a field trip in junior high school. (80s & 90s) About 8 years ago I took a tour on an American sub near Pier 39 in San Francisco . One thing that stays with me is that it must have been so depressing for those German soldiers in such a small space. I am a large American, and was a big kid. The enclosure was too small for me when I was in the seventh grade. The American sub was substantially larger and more comfortable.

Techno music ruined this
