About U-534

U-534 is a Type IXC/40 U-boat built for Nazi Germany's Kriegsmarine during the Second World War. She was built in 1942 in Hamburg-Finkenwerder by Deutsche Werft AG as yard number 352. She is one of very few U-boats of her era to survive.

The submarine was launched on 23 September 1942 and commissioned on 23 December that year, with Oberleutnant zur See Herbert Nollau in command. Today she is listed as an indoor attraction in Birkenhead, offering a striking reminder of the war at sea.
