RE: U-166 & answer for Marc Singleton

<HTML>Agree totally your view on human remains. With today\'s technology and our constant thirst for more information, we would all like to probe a little \"further\". I join what I consider quite a few members on this forum to allow German War graves to remain as they are. When Robert Ballard discovered the Titanic...he did some exploration but limited his time inside the ship due to respecting those that died that terrible evening. I have recoiled at stories of divers bringing up human femurs from War wrecks and then displaying them as \"trophies\". While this practice is frowned upon now, there was an era where it was O.K. The crew of U-166 met their fate inside a sinking U-boat. They made the ultimate sacrifice. Most of us couldn\'t think of a worse way to go...let them remain on eternal patrol.</HTML>
