Re: E-BAY DE again
Thanks!
I have noticed that 451 454 455 and 458, all from Kiel, had the railing across the front of tower. As in my foto.
I have a later foto of 456, showing the dice emblem, which does not have the railing across the front.
I'm sure you are right but I am now curious has to why some had the railing and others not!
Did any other shipyards use this design of railing as it might help in future identifying ?
Any comments welcome.

The railing could have been sawed off as it may get in the way. If you look at the posting Die Kaleuns and the picture of U 466 you will see that the last part of the railing has been cutaway near the forward hatch.

HI
Have checked again about full handrails across the the conning tower of boats.
Can find only two series that had them, U 451 - U 458 and U 465 - U 473.
Anyone else concur?
Regards MH
