I got an even simpler question.....
Why is there no records of the U Boat ever being on display in Galveston Texas?
According to you, and your article (which by the way no one else has ever read and so far you have never been able to produce) it is supposed to be there as a Museum piece like the U-505 actually on display in Chicago which I have personally visited.....
So where is the U-Boat Stand???????
At best I would consider it a work of fiction that somehow became reality in the some what stagnant brain of yours, one that uses very short single syllable words, such as look stand look, see the boat, etc, etc,....
But if true (and for me I am stretching my imagination to it’s limits) the question still remains what’s the U-Boat?
you did NOT answer the question YES/NO, thus we must all assume that you are not willing to tell the TRUTH and/or don't know the answer.

the answer IS: YES, he did state that in his book. (you know the book that "your buddy", "bubba ho-tep" denies the existence of, BUT nonetheless said that he tried to buy a copy of = that was downright FUNNY.)

as i've said from the beginning of this "controversy", i know NOTHING more than what THE AUTHOR of the book SAID. FYI, i also asked one of our former members of FR, "Tonkin Yacht Club" (who was VERY knowledgeable on WWII naval matters) & who has since passed away, what he knew (if anything) about the reported "U-boat vs. yacht shootout in the Gulf".- "TYC" said that he knew NOTHING for SURE, but had heard enough about the incident to make him want to know more of it & that he would see what he could find out from other naval vets.
the FACT is that i still don't know anything more about the shootout than i said those many months ago.
