Hello Oldhoweboy,

Please overlap your mouse upon the picture, you will see the close up. The flag is the Kriegsmarine flag with the swastika. These two submarines were from the late typ VIIc or VIIc/41. Perhaps, these emblems could be an unknow UAK-Zeichen ?

Best regards,

Lionfish.

Hello Oldhoweboy,

I think these two submarines were comissionned after September 1943 , cause of the compas' house style.

Best regards,

Lionfish.

Yes I agree. Believe centre starboard vents point to Bremer Vulkan Vegesack. Thinking 1276 on right????
