Some great images of U-534, the wreck and the artefacts which include an enigma machine via.
Commissioned
in Hamburg in late 1942, the U 534 is a Type IX C 40 long-range ocean
going submarine. She was mainly used as a weapons testing platform, and
until the late summer of 1944 was also used as a weather ship in the
North Atlantic. During the autumn of that year she left the massive U.
boat pens at Bordeaux and sailed back to Germany where she was laid up
in Kiel. So far nothing out of the ordinary, just another U. boat. But
during May 1945 things changed.
