This is an authentic, glass-framed aluminium control room fitting protective guard. The relic still retains traces of its original wartime finish, making it an attractive and increasingly scarce piece from a Kriegsmarine uboat.
The aluminium section was torn, bent and distorted by the impact of the crash but remains in good, solid condition. It has been carefully cleaned while preserving its original character and wartime patina.
The relic is presented in a glass-fronted box frame, complete with information and pictures, making it an excellent display piece for any Naval or Second World War collection. The frame measures approximately 9 inches by 9 inches.
This is a very rare to find German U-boat part from one of the German Kriegsmarine U boat submarines U-3506, U-3004 and U-250S which were all scuttled inside a U-boat pen in 1945. The part was recovered one of the U-boats from inside the pen that was the Elbe II bunker on the Elbe River at Vulkanhafen in Hamburg. The part was recovered by divers in the late 1980’s before the pen was filled in and is no longer accessible. The part comes with 2xA5 laminated information cards with pictures.
As World War II drew to a close, the Elbe II bunker sustained several hits. A Tallboy bomb strike in 1945 resulted in the 3-meter-thick ceiling curving slightly inward. An attack on April 8, 1945, led to partial destruction of the hanging gate locks due to a nearby explosion. In the final days of the war, three submarines – U-3004, U-2505, and U-3506 – were deliberately sunk by their crews in western pens. On the 11th of November 1945, Royal Engineers from the British Army detonated several well-placed sets of explosives (mainly discarded Luftwaffe ordinances) in an attempt to implode the whole complex.
