The last mission of U-505

Article Abstract:

Chicago's Museum of Science and Industry came to a sobering realization that the U-505, the captured World War II German submarine that was museum's most popular exhibit for 40 years, was affected as a result of the brutal Chicago weather. The museum people used their best brains at the problem and the only solution remaining with them was to move the U-boat indoors.
