Aircraft Carrier Made of Ice!?

3 months ago 31


The story of U-505's capture is amazing, but the Allied plan to avoid U-boats with shops made of ice is just... exactly why I love mid-century history! U-505 is at the Chicago Museum of Science and Industry, which is well worth a visit.

Scuba Max has an excellent video of a dive down to the Habakkuk remains: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eF2XQM1nyJk

I'm trying to figure out what music I can use, so today it's Lake Lamode from Super Mario Odyssey by Shiho Fujii. Any suggestions on safe sources for music, let me know in the comments!
