World War One

Radfahrer-Abteilung in Gefecht = Cyclist unit in combat

I don't know, for me it's hard to look all that threatening on a bicycle.
But when they get in to line like that it's pretty impressive.

Up... German UC-95 submarine on display at Westminster Pier, London, Jan 1919. The UC-95 was one of the U-boats surrendered by Germany in Nov 1918.

Down...
Woman posing with UB-88 in Galveston, Texas. The surrendered German submarine UB-88 visited Galveston, Texas, from July 24 to July 27, 1919, as part of a U.S. Navy exhibition tour following World War I. This tour aimed to promote Victory Bonds and encourage naval enlistment.

Any idea what happened to UB-88?

LoL

Actually I was going to look up if there are any WWI subs left we can tour.
But since you ask...

“…After having all useful parts and salvage stripped from her, she was sunk as a target on 3 January 1921 in waters off Los Angeles County, California. The propellers were saved and placed on display in the city of San Pedro but were stolen in 1923 by metal thieves and were never recovered.

The wreck of the vessel was found in July 2003 using publicly available sonar data from the Pacific Seafloor Mapping project. She sits upright approximately 7.5 miles (12 km) south of the entrance to the Port of Los Angeles at a depth of 190 feet (58 m). The outer hull has corroded revealing the inner pressure hull. Divers have entered the wreck and found the interior to be almost completely bare. As she was given a special commission to the United States Navy, she is protected by the Sunken Military Craft Act.”

And there are no submarines from World War I that are available for public tours.
Too bad
