Being on a Uboat (or any sub for that matter) must have been absolute horror. I think das boot (the uncut version) does a good job of conveying the insane boredom and long days or months with no communication with the outside world.
Also, the fact that your home also has an insane chance of being your coffin..
- enraged_camel 8y agoChicago’s Museum Of Science and Industry has a Uboat on exhibit. The first uboat captured by allies during WWII in fact. I went inside it and yeah, it’s pretty depressing. :)
- kazen44 8y agokinda cool! would love to visit suchs a thing sometime, sadly going to the states is a bit of a large expense to see a uboat..

- techopoly 8y agoSimilarly, the National Museum of the Pacific War in Fredericksburg, TX has a Japanese midget submarine that was part of the Pearl Harbor attack. It's astounding how small it is -- if my memory serves me correctly, I wouldn't have been able to stand up in it.
