These 2 pics were taken after a pretty intense airsoft battle. Outdoor field, 80 acres, charging uphill   |

Screamingeagle!
You are a very very lucky guy!
Is the 505 a Type VII or IX?
(I love the movie Das Boot and the game SIlent Hunter III ;D )

gordaks right it was a type VII. it was a very cool experience and they did a great job refurnishing it. i wasnt allowed to take pics of the inside because the tour didnt allow it but i got some great shots of it from the outside. ill try to make a thread with it when i get the time

It is, it was issued to german units, and seemed to have been very popular with the 12th SS.

Great pictures hansklempner!!
The U-505 is a type IX not a type VII like the U-96 from Das boot.
The Type IX is the larger ocean going type that frequently attacked shipping on the US east coast. Type VII's where not well suited for such a long voyage and operated most frequently around England and in the Mediterranean.
