Summary

[edit]
Description
English: U-boat navigation computer, HR2, from the U-boat 219. The HR2 was Germany's most advanced navigational computer. The U-219 was one of eight minelayers; six of these were sunk and U-219 was taken over by the Japanese in Batavia on May 8, 1945 and was surrendered to the Allies by the Japanese in August of 1945 at Jakarta. The other surviving HR2 navigation computer is in the German Naval U-boat Archives at Mürwik. Also Nazi knives and daggers of the various German organizations.
