1959 by former submariners of the Kriegsmarine, more than 130
members of different generations: WWII submariners and Federal
German Navy submariners,
- linking
element of both generations: fascination 'submarine'
and experienced comradeship onboard.
Why
is there a submariners association
in Bavarias capital Munich?
Bavarians
were and are represented in all three German Navies (Imperial
Navy, Kriegsmarine, Federal German Navy).
The Bavarian
Wilhelm Bauer - born at Dillingen on Danube and buried at the
Munich cemetery 'Alter Nördlicher Friedhof' - constructed Germany's
first submersible boat.
Munich's
famous technical museum 'Deutsches
Museum' is the last base of the first German Imperial
Navy's submarine 'U 1'. |
