The SOS Show Louisville 2024

In this video we visit U505 the German Uboat stationed in Chicago Illinois. Then on to the worlds biggest Militaria fair, the Show of Shows in Louisville Kentucky where I managed to pick up lots of new items as well as buy and sell a fantastic German camo Fallschirmjager Double Decal helmet. Finally we go to Washington DC to work on the new Military Mode Book ‘Afrika Korps’ Volume 1. Whilst in town we visit Various historic museums.

    Great video of the 505! Back in the 60s as a child we visited the museum when we were on vacation visiting my dad’s brother and family. My uncle George was a machinist mate on the Guadalcanal when they captured the 505. He was one of the guards during their stay on the carrier. He was the only one who would turn the fans on giving the prisoners a break from the constant heat being below decks. After he went off guard duty, they turn the fans back off. German NCO Hans Goebeler was an artist and drew my uncle 2 prints for his kindness towards his crew members, which I still have copies of, since the originals were stolen when he was moving to Baltimore, Maryland. Back in the 90s I was able to contact Hans Goebeler which at that time was living in Florida. He remembered my uncle and gave him the phone number to correspond with my uncle. I still collect World War II German memorabilia. Thank you again for your video.

    Years ago, at Groton subbase there was a post war German diesel sub that you could walk through. Closest I coud get to an actual U Boat. I would put the U 505 in the same category as the captured Tiger 1 tank at Bevington England.

    I believe the producers of the movie Das Boot, came to Chicago and used dimension specifications and artifacts to design their sets for the movie. I first saw the U-505 when I was a small child. It was outdoors then.

    Aren't we getting a little tired of the story of the silverware taken from the Eagles Nest? I've seen probably 50 of them claiming those huge silverware sets were from there. How much silverware did they have on hand?!
