On May 5th, 1945 U-534 was underway in the Kattegat, north west of Helsingor, Denmark, and although Admiral Dönitz had ordered all his U-boats to surrender as from 08:00 May 5th, for some unknown reason U-534 refused to do so.
Visited U-995 last week in Laboe near Kiel in Germany. Now that is a fine example of a museumboat. This U-534 chop-up is really a disgrace. A spit in the face to the 30,000 boys and men who died in those things.
I still think they were assholes by cutting her up. The only other type IX is the U505 now and its in an inside bunker which will keep it preserved forever.
They have butchered this relic. Sad to see. I was on my way but when seeing this, I Changed my mind. Thanks for the upload.
Ok then cut all your spitfire in section to see ...
You made a carnage on a wreck that was in very good condition ... Vandals
They had to cut it up to transport it as moving it in one wouldve done a lot of damage, also it is cheaper to cut it up and also britain is still pretty broke this is the best way of preserving it...
@weißer Ritter no I'm not defending it, it just is what it is, just get over that it was cut up and stop complaining about it coz it's not going to magically put itself back together again, yes it's a shame that they had to do it but at least they didnt fucking scrap it
Every single video of U534 you scroll to the comments and it's just about cutting her up. Worth noting that if Merseytravel had not stepped in she was well on her way to being scrapped. Anyone thinking that is better is a fool.
Yes, its a "shame" but in todays health and safety crazy compensation claim driven culture do you honestly think it would be deemed viable to wander through a rusted hulk? No. My only criticism of Merseytravel today is they seem quite unwilling to be doing any maintenance on her aside from a lick of paint. Almost everything interactive at the exhibit is broken and has been for years. The cameras, flickering lights etc ten years ago were really good. Now its just dead pixels and pigeon muck.
I prefer this though to the fate of other exhibits that were with U534 at its former site. HMS Plymouth, Onyx, Bronington - all gone forever. The only baffling thing is that whilst there is "no money" we found something like 75 million to raise the LCT7074 (a decaying shell) and refurbish that to as it was for display but intact ships are not viable projects.
Obviously nothing to do with scrap metal value, corrupt organisations sorting contracts out with their mates worth millions or corporate greed wanting to fill in every drop of water for apartments.
@@Chris-m-m02 I mean....its only metal, it's not like it would be impossible for it to be reassembled and put back into 1 piece. It's all a matter of money and motivation.
I visited this some years ago. Climbed inside and it was great. The twats that ordered this cut up should be sacked as not fir to serve.
Haha was that when it was outside the old Spillers warehouse all rusted up?, it did look amazing driving past it!!!
Couldn’t believe it when I heard it’d been cut up. Gits!
They will have cut it up so that parties of irritating and bad-mannered school kids can whiz round it in a couple of minutes whilst still gazing at the latest social media gossip on their mobile phones. God forbid that the little darlings would actually be expected to put themselves out by having to clamber down steps and railings into a cramped and claustrophobic piece of machinery.
I just cant believe they did it. People who decided to do it just dont like history, actually is walking and shitting about history.
Put it back together!! You know it was a mistake to cut it up!! Just look at all the comments on all the U534 videos on U tube
Thank you for your comment.
Please subscibe and check my movies on my canal such as WWII bunker.
At least she was cut up with the foresight of being able to put her back together again. It is a tragedy she was cut into sections. The Germans may have been the enemy, at the time, but they were serving their nation as well. A bit more respect would have been much appreciated. It could have been worse. She could have been turned into scrap metal. Hopefully she will be whole once again sometime.
@@indridcold8433 - Well said, with a positive attitude !
she couldve been restored enough for interior tours
That is good idea! Please subscribe for more ! Thanks
They did internal tours before she was cut up i went on one
I went on two internal tours ,awesome better than looking through perspex,really felt the lack of room when only six to eight people on tour hard to image when full crew aboard
They should have left it on the sea bottom if this is what theye planned on doing to it. What a shame that an almost intact u-boat was destroyed by these fools. They didn't deserve to have it.
what a mess I was going to Liverpool to see her but after finding out they cut her up it's not the same
why cut it up thats a peice of history we'll never get back !!!!!!!
I went to see this a few years ago and cutting it up is a disgrace, better to have sunk it in the Irish Sea than done that to it.
Such a shame they chopped it into sections, it would have been better to leave it intact. It looks the worse for wear by being exposed to the British weather. Hope there is still something to see in another fifty years of being left outside?
Thank you for your comment.

Congrats to the people who run this museum, so well presented, with the display of contents found aboard the sub...It surely must be a most interesting visit for those who have studied in depth the war at sea during WW2. This museum is one of only three in the world (the other two are in Germany and the USA) to show actual U-Boote that took part in WW2.
Well done... Thank you...
I don't want to see it like this
weld it back together!. Could do with another coat of paint as well
I wonder what the hell these museum people were thinking.
Boss: "We just had a historical WW2 U boat come into our possession, it was taken from the bottom of the sea and we have to think of a way to make this boat an attraction, any ideas men?"
Guy 1: "We could have the U-boat fully restored to it's former glory and have the artifacts and signs placed along the restored interior so people get a feeling of what it was like to walk arround these WW2 submarines while learning about the history."
Boss: "That sounds stupid Jerry! go to your office and pack your things, you're fired!"
Guy 1: "...Okay...Screw you too..."
Boss: "Come on, do any of you have a good idea we can do for an attraction?"
Guy 2: "We could put it on display, no interiors, just signs and the submarine to look at, that's sure to bring attention."
Boss: "No, that won't work... We need a little bit of interiors... That's what people want with these old rust buckets, right?"
Guy 1: "Then why don't you go with my idea..."
Boss: "I TOLD YOU TO PACK JERRY, YOU'RE FIRED, AND NOW DOUBLE SO!.
Guy 1: "That's not possible."
Guy 2: "Aren't you being alittle harsh about this boss? I mean we're just talking about making an attraction of a U-boat."
Boss: "..."
Guy 2: "...Boss I don-"
Boss: "YOU'RE FIRED TOO, GET OUT OF MY MEETING ROOM! NOW"
Guy 2: "Too bad you can't fire me, I quit." (walks out the room)
Boss: "Alright, anyone else that wants SH*T TODAY? IDEAS PLEASE!"
Guy 3: "Ok, so you actually are going to hopefully like this idea, we'll cut the wreck into separate sections not even lined up with eachother, and then the customers would be able to see inside the U-boat, but we'll case it in so they can't go in."
Boss: "..."
Guy 3: "And... uhh... We'll make lot's of cash from it, and we won't have to sink any money in to restore the interiors to make them safe because no one will be in there."
Boss: "YOU'RE A GENIUS CARTER! YOU GET A RAISE!"
Guy 1: "You cannot be serious, YOU CAN'T DO THAT TO A HISTORICAL VESSEL!"
Boss: "Screw you Jerry, I can do whatever the hell I please."
Guy 3: "I'm fine with it."
Guy 1: "Won't doing this start public outcry?"
Boss: "SECURITY!"
Guy 1: "You'll pay for this someday."
Guy 4: "Boss, I hear they're making arrangements to give the historical ocean liner "Titanic" to you by the end of the year 2023."
Boss: "2023! THAT'S 30 YEARS AWAY!" (1993 is the year the U-boat was raised)
Guy 4: "Gives you plenty of time to think."
Boss: "Alright, you have any ideas?"
Guy 4: "Diving tours?"
Boss: "That's why you are never at this table."
Guy 3: "We'll raise the ship, cut the ship in sections, and keep people out of the interiors like we are going to do with the sub."
Boss: "You have been PROMOTED TO ASSISTANT BOSS!"
Guy 3: "YAAAAY!"
This entire story I made up was stupid and a waste of my time, and a waste of time for all who read it, I apologize.
It Will be nice if U-534 is fully restored and displayed in one piece in perfect condition just like U-505
To those who think she should be put together again, it's not impossible. She was cut into five and at least two were rejoined.

Jesus christ just be thankful that they actually preserved it and not actually scrap it...
I wouldn't just had them scrap it, Them cutting it up was a humiliation to the whole operation to raise her from the bottom, They should've just kept her at the bottom if they were just gonna do this.
@@FrederickTheAnon14W True but plans change and so I guess this was the only viable option
I would have cut it even further, like off with entire hull plates. Let people see an interior that only the U-Boat crew had ever seen behind the hull. We know what a complete U-Boat looks like, I want to see something extra about the construction like this displays 👍
Brits always do these museum displays so clever, so excellently.
The display the Americans have made with the U-505 in Chicago is a masterpiece.
I agree with every comment on here chopping it into sections was a pure act of historical rape.
Only the British would think of chopping something up, so it would be unrecognisable as a submarine, lol.
People complain about this museum but it and all it's artifacts would still be at the bottom of the sea if the investors hadn't gave at least this much of a damn about history. That writ, I would also of course done it differently.
Any artifacts stayed within the UBoat
The Kevin Wheatcroft Collection or Paul Allen should have bought this then it would have been restored properly. Or if Merseyside didn't have the money to restore it, Portsmouth would have been a more suitable place for it with the Imperial War Museum. The last British D-Day Landing craft was salvaged from Merseyside and is now fully restored
Why the hell did they bust it open!?
What on earth did they do to this poor thing. Nowhere near its former beauty. Really saddening to see :(
Всё больше и всё чаще вижу как показывают мощь и силу нацистских подводных лодок... И всё более приходит мысль о том,,,, что хорошо они вам дали просраться...
cool
It's okay with me. Why must every museum or U-Boat be treated the same? This is the only tour like it in the world.
All they needed to do was sink it in the ground a little and cut a wide door in the side for the elderly and disabled to still be able to enjoy it, its a simple as that, look at how the k21 is displayed for example and thats still next to the water..
WHY THE FUCK DID THEY CUT IT UP
7:59
This Birkenhead display looks VERY bad And it is rusting. Take pride in your museum. The U-505 is way better in the Science and Industry in Chicago. A must visit when in Chicago. You can even walk in the submarine.
A jednak jest,więcej niż dwa na świecie, u505 w stanach,u995 nieopodal labole koło kiloni coś nie samowitego straszliwa trumna.
Puzzle :(
fajny materiał, tylko komentarz trochę ubogi ;-)
kaacpeeer info jest w necie. Zainteresowani znajdą. pozdro
Watch the documentry then moan ! She has been cut up but she can be put back together again ! Some of us due to our health and my f'#'#'n size 6 3 cant access these small places so this is a big help !Normal fit people are such selfish c'#'#'s !!! who have the ability to see no further than the end of your nose !..
Right like nobody over 6 foot ever sailed in them aye?,if they can stuff a 10 foot torpedo down it diagonally for loading it, then a tall person should be no problem!! they could have sunk her in the ground a little and cut a side piece out for wheel chair users, if your to morbidly obese and fat then stay away from the conning tower! obviously it aint for you, so just enjoy the rest..
worst camera work ever . . .
Can't believe they bombed an innocent weather monitoring vessel!
Not so innocent...it was relaying valuable weather info to the enemy forces, so it was time for her to go down.
@@pedrolistacarey4880 I was only kidding, I just wanted to moan about something a bit different. the ship was armed as well.
Méme en temps de guerre un navire meto n'est pas innocent !
I bet the weather station that was dropped off by one then recovered, is the most expensive weather station on earth, in money and historic value, considering its the only one left on earth,being speically designed for transportation of the u boat in mind when manufactured, look up canadian war museum weather station kurt?,, 🤔.
If the goverment started gaining brains instead of loosing them, thered stitch it back together again and display it proberly with the respect it deserves, even though irraversable damage has been done to some parts!!! ... Whoever in the right mind in parliment thought that this undignified end was the right way forward,even after all the planning, logistics,and money and time spent on recovery??? 🤔..
