<HTML>Hi Joe,
I have to side with you. Let\'s concentrate on what we have. A rusty hulk of a WW II U-boat, which was NOT a wargrave. To me it seems, that the English government AND the Museum don\'t think it is important to preserve a piece of GERMAN history. I don\'t think, that we can do much about it, because it is simply to expensive to bring this boat up to shape. I do appreciate the enthusiasm of some forum members, to attempt to do something about it. It is sad but not hopeless if only either the Museum or the English government would step in and contribute at least in part to cover the cost of the restoration.
Best Regards, Torlef</HTML>
