HI
The above link will show pictures of U 435, note the handrail down the side of the conning tower.

And also notice that above the flood-holes alongside the conning tower the vertical bar for the railings is in line

with the gap between the fourth and fifth flood hole from the stern of the boat. On most boats it was between

the second and third.

Noticed the picture of U 435 "U 435 during evacuation operation for weather commando Knospe"
If the picture is showing U 435 its not related to Knospe. Picture is taken in Bergen, and if its U 435 must be taken in november 1942.

HI
I agree about the first picture-the second picture was taken in Norway-Bergen just before the one at this link-
http://www.u-historia.com/uhistoria/his ... 5/u435.htm
U 435 also had a flat top to the front of it's conning tower which carried on it a small handrail going across the front.
