Seacombe, Wirral United Kingdom 18th March 2019, From the viewing Platform looking down on to the four sections of the U 534 Built in 1942 the submarine was sunk on 5 May 1945, sailing with two Type XXI U-boats, the U-3523 and U-3503, whilst sailing north on the surface of the Kattegat sea, when two RAF Liberator aircraft attacked (G/86 George from Tain and E/547 Edward from Leuchars). The crew managed to shoot one bomber down, and nine depth charges from the bombing runs missed, but then the boat received a direct hit by a depth charge from G/86. The U-534 began to take on water as a result of the damage to her aft section by the engine rooms, and sank north-east of Anholt. The shot-down Liberator crashed 3 nautical miles (5.6 km) away, and all on board the plane were lost. The U-534 lay on the sea bed for nearly 41 years, until she was discovered at a depth of 67 meters in 1986 and was raised to the surface on 23 August 1993 before coming to the Historic Warships Museum in Birkenhead and her final move to the U-boat story at Seacombe
