Hi Ron,

the curved railing on U 1165 was a feature retrofitted to many boats in 1944 to increase the room on the upper platform. So I am sorry to say that it means nothing in this case.

Shall not be back home until the middle of August, so please stay tuned!

Cheers

Axel

Ron.
Why do you think on the right is U 662 ?

U 662 had an additional "stand-alone" band for AA equipment, similar to U 84.

Emblem of this boat looks like one of U 591.

Hi, Boat on right is U 591 not U 622 which had a row of vents alongside the deck gun (gunholes). Good photo, confirms AA layout of U 591 and that U 598 had no (gunholes) also last section of this boats U 598, railing on forward left looks without a bend in it. Would like to know source.

Hi Pikap,

On the uboatarchive they say nothing about U 591 sailed on 26 June 1943,
i checked the records and she sailed on that day.

Hi
As an amatuer I agree with you so we are bound to be wrong!
Also as an amatuer, have failed to identify this skipper!
