The U505 and the Chicago Tribune: A Voyage Through Red Tape

The German WWII U-505 submarine has a truly fascinating history. After its capture during WWII, it was designated to be used as target practice. But three Chicagoans, including Chicago Tribune publisher Robert R. McCormick, stepped in to save it from destruction. Jeffrey Anderson, exhibit coordinator and assistant curator of the Museums at Cantigny, will share how and why the last remaining Type IXC U-boat in existence came to reside in Chicago.
