Hi
Thanks for this information. I've updated our page about U-852 accordingly.
I'm looking forward to see more photos of its wreck, but I guess not much more than an empty hull remains today as most parts had already been salvaged by the Royal Navy in 1944 (the periscope and all AA guns including their mountings for example) and all moveable scrap was probably removed by locals post-war.
Best regards
