Wilhelm Bauer, Submarine museum in Germany
The Wilhelm Bauer is a Type XXI U-boat of Nazi Germany's navy, completed shortly before the end of World War II.
It was scuttled at the end of the war, having never gone on patrol. In 1957, it was raised from the seabed off Flensburg Firth, refurbished, and commissioned into the West German Bundesmarine in 1960.
Today, it is a museum ship, part of the German Maritime Museum in Bremerhaven, and the only floating example of a Type XXI U-boat.
Visitors can explore the submarine and learn about its history through various exhibits.
The Wilhelm Bauer is the world's only remaining example of a Type XXI U-boat.
