.....Lorient U Boat Pens is where they shot the scenes with the Nazi U Boat (see what they did there) in Indiana Jones and Raiders of the Lost Ark. WE shot there for Darlow Smithson’s “Nazi Megastructures” back in 2013.

The size and scale of the place is something to behold, it’s like its own concrete city. So much so in fact that when the Allies started sweeping in from the West and pushing the German’s back the soldiers & Sailors in the U Boat pens shut up shop and hunkered down. Even with the biggest, non-Nuclear bomb the Allies had to hand, the Tall Boy could do little more than cosmetic damage.

The guys inside the base eventually came out and surrendered, AFTER, Germany had surrendered.
