German submarine U-534 is a Type IXC/40 U-boat of Nazi Germany's Kriegsmarine built for service during World War II. She was built in 1942 in Hamburg-Finkenwerder by Deutsche Werft AG as yard number 352. She was launched on 23 September 1942 and commissioned on 23 December with Oberleutnant zur See Herbert Nollau in command.
U-534 is one of only four German World War II submarines in preserved condition remaining in the world, the others being the IXC boat U-505 in Chicago's Museum of Science and Industry, the VIIC/41 boat U-995 at the Laboe Naval Memorial near Kiel and the XXI boat U-2540 in Bremerhaven.
U-534 was used mainly for training duties; during her service she sank no other ships. A Royal Air Force bomber sank her on 5 May 1945 in the Kattegat 20 kilometres northeast of the Danish island of Anholt. U-534 was salvaged on 23 August 1993 and was moved to Woodside Ferry, Birkenhead to form the 'U-Boat Story' museum. This attraction opened on 10 February 2009 and closed in 2020.
In October 2021, ownership of U-534 transferred to Big Heritage, operators of the nearby Western Approaches Museum.

Come to Chicago everyone and see the U-505 still in one piece, it's an incredible and very well organized attraction !!
I went through U-505 when I was about 12 years old back in the 1970s. The Museum of Science and Industry is one of the best places I have ever been to.
I’ve loved it both times I’ve been! Just crazy to me the tour guide doesn’t mention while in the Uboat that it was the only instance of a U-Boat commander killing themselves from stress/fear during a depth charge attack. Thanks for watching and have a great week :)
@@HiddenHistoryYT I didn't know that, I'm surprised as well that was never revealed.
I went through it in 1976 and still have the pictures. I'll never forget the feeling of being in those spaces.
The exhibition in Chicago is amazing, highly recommend it.
I actually went aboard 534 when it was still in one piece. As soon as you got inside you could still smell the salt. It was an amazing experience. One of the tour guides said that 534 was carrying a small compliment of the latest Mk of torpedo's that Germany had & said that if they had had those torpedo's at the start of the war, the Battle of the Atlantic could have been lost before America entered the war. I was devastated that they cut it up, but at least people are still able to go and see it. I paid another visit to it a few years ago and because the ends of each section have a perspex covering you can look in but not enter. I'm glad I was one of a few number of people who got to walk through the sub & that smell of salt will be something I will never forget.
Very cool information! Appreciate you watching and have a great week :)
If Karl Donitz had gotten the U-Boats he requested before the start of the war they would have won.
I had the same honor in 1999 and will never forget the feeling.
I actually live about half a mile from where she currently lies in peices, and was there when she was unloaded from the barge that transported her here, it was the first time I had ever seen a real live U boat in the flesh and it gave me goosebumps just to touch her,
I visited her regularly for the first three months after her arrival as well as taking the museums tours of their other exhibits those being HMS Bronninington King Charles first sea command, HMS Plymouth a Frigate that served in the Falklands war as well as HMS Onyx an Oberon class submarine which was the only non nuclear British submarine to actively take part in the conflict, I was blown away by the sheer power and clarity of her periscope optics spending nearly fifteen minutes training it about till pulled away by an increasingly more and more bored wife.and the old Bar lightship. I was devastated the day they closed the museum and carted her off to Woodside and then committed the cardinal sin of cutting the poor old girl up. Ive never been to the Woodside display despite it being virtually on my doorstep as I cant bring myself to see what those (I suppose with the best of intentions) phillistines did to her.
I agree with you about the decision to cut it up. This is a living piece of history that should have been preserved intact. Having been aboard the U505 more than once, I understand the feeling you had seeing this sub.
A friend and myself in the late 1990s booked a tour of U-534 when it was sited next to the "Spillers flour mill" at Birkenhead's east float dock as part of the "Historic warship preservation trust".
Such a tour would not be permissible now due to the over extended nonsense of modern "elf and safety". After climbing onto her aft deck via a scaffolding gantry our small group was taken for a full walk through of the entire sub, including ascending from the control room and standing on the "turm" or raised bridge, and looking out over the rotted wooden decking which exposed her high pressure air cylinders and torpedo storage tubes beneath. Not many people nowadays can say they've stood on the bridge of a type IX uboat and surveyed its decks.
While walking through her internal compartments which were coated with rust, in each compartment there was a small area up near the roof where the original paintwork and labelling of valves etc was still visible. It became apparent that this was where air trapped inside the sub after its sinking had prevented the salt water from corroding the metal.
The thought of panicking sailors trapped in a sinking sub, fighting for their last breaths with their faces pressed into such pockets did leave a lasting impression on me. (Though just to be clear, NO German sailors died aboard U-534 during her sinking. One sailor died of the "bends" while ascending to escape from the sunken sub, and two other's died of exposure on the surface before rescue).
I still to this day drink my tea from the "U-534" mug that I bought on that day.
It's fantastic that a project to save the sub from further degradation, reinstate it from the ridiculous cutting up it suffered in the 2000s, and place it within a protective building is to be applauded.

Unreal mate, what a great memory. Thanks for sharing your story
I was stunned to learn they chopped it up, who in the hell thought that was a good idea?
@@echohunter4199 U-534 was originally donated to a UK charitable trust called the "Merseyside Historic Warship Preservation trust" (MHWPT) Which was sited at the "East Float Dock" in Birkenhead, UK.
In 2003 a developer bought the part of the dock estate that U-534 was positioned on and demanded that it be removed. The "MHWPT" did not have the funds required to pay for its removal and for a couple of years its future hung in the balance. The Trust went into liquidation, and U-534 was earmarked for SCRAPPING, as no buyer could be found !!!
Eventually Merseyside Passenger Transport Authority paid a knockdown price for the sub in 2006, and chose to cut the sub into 5 pieces, so that it would fit into the only site they had available, which was the Woodside Ferry terminus, where it still stands today.
As I mentioned above, in 2021 another charitable trust called "Big Heritage" which currently runs the "battle of the Atlantic" museum based in Derby House, Exchange Flags, Liverpool city centre (Which was the RN HQ for the battle of the Atlantic in WW2) acquired the sub, and as the video link I provided above shows they are planning to eventually move the sub to a new indoor site, and potentially re-assemble the sub back into one piece.

No one died one the 534 during the sinking. One died due to a pneumothorax as he escaped the sub. 2 others died of exposure in the sea. It Is 2 miles from where I live. Nice to keep the boat Alive though
Appreciate you watching and have a great week :)
My nephew and myself went aboard the U534 when she was still in one peice, I think it was £8 or £10 each for the tour. before you go on board they would show a video of the sub being rescued from the deep and gave the story of it being a 'virgin vessel', as it was used as a supply vessel to othe subs and it was one of the early Uboats to be able to use Synthetic fuels and if memory serves when it was being cleaned out they found some of the rare advanced acoustic torpedos. And then they chopped the submarine up !!!!!! plonkers !! Am sure they could have used one of the old dock sites to display it in whole. Luckily we both have mugs bought on the day as a reminder of the visit.
Cool. I was working in Liverpool summer 2003 for Rolls Royce and on a day off visited Birkenhead, I had no idea that this u-boat was there, happened upon it by total happenstance and was blown away. Took a lot of photos, I treasure them. When I was a teenager I was huge u-boat freak so to a real one up close was quite amazing.
Very cool! I assume it is worth visiting?
@@HiddenHistoryYT Yes definitely, but do note that some years later the U boat was cut into pieces, painted and placed into a display for tourists. I have only seen photos, I am sure its cool, and neat attraction, but unfortunately it would not give the full impression of the scale, because its cut up. You can see a couple of other U boat displays in the world, there is one in Chicago and one in Germany. I consider myself really fortunate to have seen U 534 in one piece.
My grandmother told me about her uncle (i think) who served on a u-boat during the war. He was a diesel engineer who died of stomach cancer, he put it down to being immersed in cold water for hours trying to get their sub back to the surface. Apparently after an attack the sub took on water and sank to the bottom, he was bloody lucky to have made it to the wars end.
Wow! Appreciate you watching and have a great week :)
Do you remember which boat?
@@pizzaplanettruck9761 she never said, i doubt she knew, she did give me his name but I’m hopeless at remembering them. She now has alzheimers and doesn’t remember who i am so there’s no point trying to ask.
Cutting it up was criminal.
Completely agree! Thanks for watching and have a great week :)
Should have been protected as part of history just like old buildings are
Cutting it up was criminal..........That's like saying Satan should not be cast into Hell.
Perhaps your thought life is what is criminal? Are you planning on dying without God's plan of salvation that was provided for you through His Son Jesus Christ? That ship represents 6 million Jews..... Jesus Christ, King of the Jews.
Matthew 25:40 And the King will answer and say to them, 'Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me.' and all the horrid carnage and suffering caused by vessels representative of this.
Is your thought life and heart in criminal league and fellowship with the demonic Nazi's?? It's one thing to remember this war, it's another too glorify it before God. It makes one as guilty today as it was done yesterday. Those are called spiritual morals, or rather void or without conscience.

@@stur.7502 Aha, the cut up was another try to find the gold, crafty lot them Liverpool tykes
Hello...when I found out that they had cut it into 4 sections I was angry from a distance with the ideologues of such sacrilege...then, when visiting it at the U-boat History (Birkenhead), I found a work of art ...the only way to see the inside of a refloated u-boat was to cut it up and then be able to enjoy it through glass...another enjoyment was the display cases in the park,,,... an endless number of items and crew belongings rescued from the u-boat...DE from Argentina.
The Wellington bomber that my Great Uncle Borden Gray navigated tried to sink this U Boat. Unfortunately they missed and the U Boat opened fire and they crashed into the ocean. Borden was the only member to escape with a raft. After rescuing a few of his peers, he refused to get into the dinghy and passed away overnight. He was awarded the George Cross.
That is not true. U-534 was attacked by two B-24 liberators. The first was shot down immediately. The second hit U-534 at the second attack and sunk her. No Wellingtons were involved.
My mom was from Liverpool. When I went to visit family in England, my cousin took me to see this sub shortly after it was at Birkenhead. You cannot get a feeling of how huge this sub was by the pictures. It was a very impressive site to see.
Very cool! Appreciate you watching and have a great week :)
Although they cut it up which was to bad, at least they have preserved it for people to see. War is bad no who you are fighting for or against, and having these pieces of history for more generation's to see is good. Both my grandpa's fought in wwll, they were both gone for four year's, and had many stories to tell. There aren't many wwll vets left, so having thing's from the war to actually see and experience are good. When i was a kid, i visited the museum of science and industry in Chicago, and went through the U-boat 505, and that was an interesting tour i still remember.
G-d bless.
They took a perfectly good and extremely rare sub and hacked it up. Pathetic.
Yep! Appreciate you watching and have a great weekend :)
Boo hoo. 😢
Yeah had the pleasure of a tour on it before it was cut up totally amazing such a shame others can no longer experience that .
Cut up by pencil pushing capitalists aiming to make a quick buck at low costs, at the sacrifice of future generations. Absolute incompetence all around.
I remember as a kid seeing this whole and it was huge then they moved it .
Lot of nostalgia here for me I must have been 10 at the time .
Glad I got to see it whole.
I went through this when on display on the museum dockside around 2003, making it widely accesible would be impossible, the cutting into sections was the only way of publicly displaying. I recall the top few inches of one of the interior partitions had not been exposed to water apparently due to an air bubble and had its original colour visble.
Very cool! Appreciate you watching and have a great week :)
Good video. I went to see U534 not long she landed in Birkenhead, it was a lot larger than I expected. I've been lucky enough to see U505 in Chicago and U995 in Laboe. I would say U995 is the most impressive - but that cos you can walk thru her
U-505 is fantastic! Appreciate you watching & have a great week :)
I was lucky to go inside this sub when it first opened for visitors and it was fantastically preserved...we told the fuel used was synthetic diesel almost unheard of for the time...the reason it was salvaged was the rumour it was carrying gold bullion...it wasnt...
Why they cut it up was it wasnt disable people friendly for visiters....thats what i was told when visiting it again after they cut it into 3 pieces if i remember correctly
Very very cool! Appreciate you watching and have a great week :)
Correct, but the truth is that it was the loony leftie wokes claiming the cutting would be for the disabled, while the disabled themselves were screaming NOT to cut it as they appreciated the value of this historical vessel. As is often the case, the crazy nutters do things in the name of certain sectors of the population who have no say or want no part in it !
Aha, the cut up was another try to find the gold, crafty lot them Liverpool tykes
I am currently reading a great book about U-99 and Captain Otto Kretschmer, "Night Raider of the Atlantic" copyright 1956. This book gives an amazing first hand account on being onboard during attacks. I would not want to be on the receiving end of a U-boat.....great video. Sad to see it cut up but I do see the opportunity to view things that would normally not be seen fully assembled.
Worth buying I assume? Appreciate you watching and have a great week :)
@@HiddenHistoryYT While at my old college library reading other WW2 books, I stumbled upon this one. I read it for free. Looking at online prices, I'd say iis worth the money. Check a local library or college library...they might have it.
I've been to see it. Absolutely disgusting that they cut it up.
Agreed! Appreciate you watching and have a great week :)
They chopped it into four pieces and then put it in an open air museum and didn't bother to look after it. When I visited in 2017 there were bits falling off and weeds growing out of various bits. The museum then closed. It's been taken over and is being developed as part of an Atlantic Convoy War thing, but no date a to when it will reopen.
Appreciate you watching and have a great weekend :)
Went yesterday, site conditions are appalling, one of 4 U-boats and there are weeds growing out of the ground, some parts look to be deteriorating quite fast on its bow. Whole things a building site with various bits ripped up of the decking inside and the U-boat itself covered in scaffolding. Still cool to see but they've made a mess of it.
Putting it up in its wonderful display form was the only way to keep it in any kind of presentation. It’s a very good setup
No it isn't. Plenty of subs are on display intact.
Thanks for watching and have a great week :)
The handcuffs "Mad Max" left the Psycho in to make his final decision were made of...."High Tensile Steel." hahaha LOL
Appreciate you watching and have a great weekend :)
I never realized that U-boats could be such capable at defending themselves against aircraft.
In the late war.
Appreciate you watching and have a great week :)
@@HiddenHistoryYT Same to you.
Most people don't realize that U boats spent the majority of their time on the surface so they needed good anti aircraft guns to protect the sub. While submerged a U boat only had a few hours of battery life to stay under before they had to come up to charge the batteries.
@@richb.4374Later in the war, the ‘Snorkle’ allowed a U boat to remain submerged with her diesel engines operating to charge her batteries.
Went there yesterday. Still shut after 4 years, real shame its behind a fence with it being 1 of 4 but I climbed up it to have a proper look, looks like a building site thats ongoing, the U boat itself had scaffolding around it so they're doing something. Looks quite rundown though but I suppose if they're working on it its to be expected but 4 years and they haven't pulled their fucking fingers out to get the place up and running so people can visit. Should never have split it into 4 either. Eventhough the site is in a terrible state the U-boat itself is still very impressive. Hopefully they can open it again soon.
Very interesting comment, thanks for sharing! Appreciate you watching & have a great week :)
Shame it was cut up. Liverpool was the Western Approaches Atlantic HQ of the RN in WW2, U-Boat Story has been closed for a while now, they should consider moving it to somewhere that can restore it back to one piece and open it to public. Then they can spend money on getting all the clocks and fountains working and cleaning the streets.
I too experienced this boat in one piece and got to walk around the inside with a great tour. Took my family back years later and they were so disappointed, the modern museum gives 0 impression of being inside the boat and is just a walk around looking at bits of bulkhead. Very sad.
Very cool! Appreciate you watching and have a great week :)
Cutting this Uboat into pieces is vandalism
Agreed!
Same. If anything they could have cut a hole in the hull with stairs to make it easier for tourists to enter and exit. It takes away from going through the bulkheads and seeing the different compartments. Hook up a generator and run some wired lights throughout the inside. Would have been cheaper, too. Damn shame. If they find another one in the channel thats still resurrection worthy, hopefully they won’t saw it up like this.
maybe ADA mandates...
I remember passing her almost everyday. It's a shame they broke her up.
It's crazy when your a kid you don't think of the history thats on your doorstep.

Cutting it apart was a stupid idea
Precisely why? It's far easier to see the internals and the outside may be seen at other exhibits.
@@Comm0ut They chopped it up dingus. Nothing there is original. It was all chopped up to scrap but they just didn't scrap it and painted it instead. What the hell would i pay to see a bunch of scrap thrown on the ground for? Goofs would have a world famous heritage site today, but now its just shit thrown somewhere that should be just sent to the scrap yard.

For those who complain about the cutting of the U.534......the only way to see the inside of a refloated sub after 40 years was to cut it into sections....I visited him and he said it was a great idea doing so, otherwise you would only be able to see an old painted u-boat, with dents and a sad image......for those who want to visit a u-boat inside (WWII). you can visit U-995 in Laboe or U-2540 in Bremerhaven.....I don't know if U-505 (Chicago) can be entered...never visit it....DE from Argentina

The one who is responsible of this historical artifact getting chopped up should get bannned from working with historical artifacts ever again.

... Ach due liebr himmel, was ist mit meinem U-Boot passiert ? ... LOL 😂 (Thanks to English to German internet, to piece this together... Yikes!) ⚓⛵🌅🌎...
Another Nazi U Boat, a very large one, lies just off the coast of Cape Cod, Massachusetts. Sunk in August, 1944. What it may contain may be why it has not been raised. Google:Operation CA-35. It may reveal who was collaborating with the Nazis in the US Government during WW II. The sub was in contact with the US Department of State in Washington. Waiting for the sub’s occupants on shore at a seaside inn was Princess Juliana of the Netherlands. It is thought that this was a secret move by the Royal Families of Europe to abandon Hitler and negotiate the surrender of Germany in violation of the Allies demand for Unconditional Surrender. Juliana’s Husband Bernhardt always denied he was a Nazi, his Nazi ID Card was recently found. Bernhardt established the secret Bilderburg Group in the early 1950’s. The Department of State/CIA started sneaking Nazis and Eastern European Nazi collaborators into South America and the US in the late 1940’s, many of the war criminals. So, the sub may explain a lot of things. Like who really benefitted from the Cold War. Hint: The Nazis who escaped the rope.

They chopped it up into four sections I believe ? How stupid can one get 😊
Yep! Thanks for watching & have a great week :)
She should have gone to Germany or Denmark for proper preservation as a part of history, instead she has been destroyed by incompetent English hands! I am not surprized by their lack of respect and financial problems.

12:25 4000lbs. of documents?!
WTF?
Since when does Holland border the Baltic Sea? Typical American ignorance!
My respect for the German people, very smart individuals, but misled by a tyrant who promised them to make their country great again just like the one in the United States trying presently
Not only in the US my friend.
At first it's shocking to see an intact U-Boat cut up like this one. But the experience is more relatable, immersive and available for more people to see. Crawling around through a submarine sounds fun till you try it as a pudgy old man.😊 Or anyone that's not thin and in shape. Quite a story here.
Yeah the tyrant we have in the White House, who mandates unconstitutional laws without allowing our elected representatives to vote on, is a much better choice...
@@mikereinhardt4807What unconstitutional laws? Presidents don't "mandate" laws. Congress does. At least when the Republicans actually want to get REAL work done, instead of spending almost a year and a half conducting sham "investigations" that go nowhere.
My utmost respect to all citizens who post their comments, let’s just remember that those who forget the past are doomed to repeat it
resurrected ? dont ya mean RUINED ?
shame they basically destroyed it
