GWX what is the sea-side eagle statue? | Forums

[Blitzkaiser]

SOrry for being ignorant but I wonder what is the statue with an eagle at the seaside in GWX?? Looks like some sort of memorial thing.

There was a post about it at Subsim, but I can't find it.

Celeon, it is on Page 6 of the GWX Manual. I can't remember what it was, but I'm sure it's like a war memorial.<div class="ev_tpc_signature">

I believe you are talking about the u-boat memorial Möltenort.

Its near the Marine memorial in Laboe (where U-995 is)

By the way:

Laboe has also memorial plates honoring british and american submarine crews lost at sea during ww-2.


The Möltenort memorial was build after ww-1 and is dedicated to the 200 u-boats and 4744 crewmen lost at sea.


Here are some pics






U-31 passes the memorial

At Laboe :




U-995 , the last remaining VII-C as seen from the tower of the Laboe memorial

Not counting the hundreds that of course still exist but just cant be seen at the bottom of the oceans.

As i read somewhere : The bottoms of the oceans are and will be the biggest naval museum.

Wow! That picture of U-995....it's in such good condition, it looks like a life-size model of a Type VIIC, rather than the actual thing. Pretty amazing.

Obviously not or maybe they just did it.

Here is pic of U-22 passing with some crew on deck.

If you look at the pic in my sig (which is from the same series, they have periscopes, antennas, and snorkel extended just like U-22 does.

You can see the Laboe memorial in the back.

There is a lagoon in the pacific, where two cargo ships lie right next to each other. One from world war 1, the other from world war 2. I think the older one was german and the other one was Japanese.
