In Hamburg the boats were emptied and the conning tower removed to be towed up the Elbe river to Dresden, where they were landed and transported over a highway to the Danube river. There the boats were put together again and went down the river to the Black Sea, operating against Soviet vessels off the Caucasus coast.

There are some photos available in this German article:
