<HTML>Hi fellows,
The partial remains of the 3 XXI\'s at HBG-Finkenwerder are not entombed in concrete. The accessible open cavity of the collapsed bunker has been filled with aggregate and sand (both materials required to make concrete, but not the same since the cement is missing). The stern end of all three boats incl engines had been salvaged in the 50ties/early sixties. There was not much left to \'visit\' but slimey rusted pieces of scrap submerged at high tide.
