Onderzeeër De Biber Vlissingen

The Biber was a German midget submarine during WWIIIt would be armed with two externally mounted53-centimetre torpedoes or mines,they were intended to attack coastal shipping andwere the smallest submarines in the Kriegsmarine.Construction of the first prototype began in February 1944and was completed in less than 6 weeks.and was heavily influenced by the British Welman submarine.The Biber was hastily developed to help meet thethreat of an Allied invasion of Europe.This resulted in basic technical flaws that,combined with the inadequate training of their operators,meant they never posed a real threat to Allied shipping,despite 324 submarines being delivered.One of the class's few successes was the sinkingof the cargo ship Alan A. Dale.The small submarine was found onthe beach at Breskens in 1950, after it washed ashore.the remains of a German soldier was found inside.It was probably destroyed during Operation Calendarand British minesweepers report three periscopes near Breskens.They started shooting and ramming the little subs.One Biber surfaced, the driver on board surrendered,one sank and the third disappeared.It is suspected that the sunken Biberwashed ashore six years later.The Biber was send to Fort Rammekens and was then send toZeeuws Maritiem MuZEEUm and restored andcan now be seen on the Oranjedijk in Vlissingen.

Prachtig gerestaureerde Bieber (Bever) onderzeeër die vroeger in Fort Rammekes werd bewaard. De onderzeeër is nu eigendom van het MuZeeum en tentoongesteld op de Oranjedijk. Het gaat om een mooi exemplaar Duitse U-boot gebouwd om bevaren te worfen door slechts 1 persoon. Bij een bezoek aan Uncle Beach is dit een mooie stop!
