<HTML>Hi Rainer,
These side scans were also e-mailed to me 1 year ago, when KPP and I were having our bet placed. The president of the subsearecovery e-mailed them to me to point out that it could only be the XI-B. I mailed them to KPP, because his knowledge on the u-boats is far greater than mine, and KPP concluded that these scans did not show beyond a doubt that it is a Type XI-B. In one of the last discussions on this subject we sort of agreed on the fact that the scans did not prove anything, but the size of the object and the gun turrets were atleast puzzling everyone who was interested on the subject.
I also remember getting an e-mail from someone else, living in the neighbourhood of the final restingplace of the XI-B, and he told me that there is something going on and that he had seen original scans. Since then I have heard nothing. The fact that it is taking so long is funny to me. It could be that the US government is covering up some piece of bad history for them, however the president of the subsearecovery asked us to be patient one year ago. Now it is also taking them too damn long for my patience.
