High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! German submarine U-534 was a Type IXC/40 U-boat of the German Kriegsmarine built for service during World War II. She was built in 1942 in Hamburg-Finkenwerder by Deutsche Werft AG. The U-boat is one of only four large German WWII submarines in preserved condition remaining in the world, the only other IXC boat being U-505 in Chicago. She was used mainly for training duties, and during her life sank no other ships. A Royal Air Force bomber sank her on 5 May 1945 some 20 kilometers northeast of the Danish island of Anholt. U-534 was salvaged in 1993 and since February 2009 has been on exhibition in Birkenhead as the U-boat Story.
