A small factoid, sometime in the 80's or 90's the U505 was looking a bit worn out and need to be refurbished. The Museum reached out to the West German Government for help in finding parts to help with the restoration. Germany not only gave them the parts for the boat but they also sent workers over to assist in the restoration of the boat. The Germans are a proud people and since one of the subs from WWII was being restored they wanted it to be as perfect as they could get it.

“I stole it fair and square” is one of my favorite Fat Electrician lines in any video game

The camera guy was actually there for intelligence gathering in case they couldn't save the sub and had to abandon it.

Having a photographer on the team was very important to capture everything to be sorted out later and for reference, especially if whatever you are looking at is no longer available in the future.

They came real close to court martialing Cpt Gallery because of this. He wasn't ordered to do this, it was his own idea.

He wanted to retrieve intel from the sub, most importantly the crypto info. What he didn't know was that the Brits were already reading the German Enigma traffic, and didn't need the info.

But if the Germans learned that the sub had been captured they'd have changed their Enigma settings, and the Brits would have lost the ability to read Enigma for a couple of weeks until Bletchley worked out the changes.

As this was two days before the Normandy landings, it would have been an inconvenient time to lose that ability.

My dad saw the sub being brought to Chicago being towed out of Lake Michigan going to The museum of Science and Industry.

The name of the U-boat was changed to the USS Nemo which became the insperation for the Disney film "Finding Nemo"😉

Chicago area reared. I have visited that sub many times as a child. This is the first time I have ever heard its complete history. Truly amazing.

The neighboring Fields Museum has a large panorama of the actual Lions of Tsavo story which inspired the Michael Douglas movie The Ghost and the Darkness.

I toured the submarine while on a 5th grade school trip to Chicago in 1963 (I think). That and the tour of the Shed Aquarium were the high point of the three-day trip for me. My thanks to Admiral Gallery. Actually, the salvage crew chose to believe that they could fix the sub before the ocean could claim them both. It was a very justified confidence in their abilities.

The task force led by the USS Guadacanal (CVE-60) Escort Carrier, commanded by Captain Daniel Vincent Gallery, captured the German type IXC U-boat U-505 on June 4, 1944. This event marked the first time the U.S. Navy successfully captured an enemy vessel at sea since the 18th century, and it was significant for the decryption of German naval communications late in World War II.
However, the Royal Navy destroyer HMS Bulldog, under Captain Joe Baker-Cresswell captured the German type IXB U-boat U-110 on May 9, 1941. This capture was significant as it provided the British with critical cipher documents and an Enigma machine, which were essential for breaking German naval codes during World War II, and constituted a turning point in The Battle of the Atlantic.

13:48 War bonds were basically government savings bonds sold to citizens to fund military ops during wartime, raising money for the military, and preventing inflation. You’d buy them at a discount and the government pays you back with interest later.

The correct term is "captured", not stolen. He was Captain Gallery at the time of the capture. There are a number of books about the capture, including one by Admiral Gallery himself. There are also two biographical works about the Admiral, and his autobiography. BTW, Admiral Gallery was born and raised in Chicago. That's why the U-505 went there.
