Hello,
Somebody knows who decide that camouflage can be applied on an u-boat ?
The commandant ?
The U-boat headquarters ( FdU ) ?
The both ?
And how the type of camouflage was choiced? For exemple U 218 had a camouflage on each sides of the deck and the conning tower painted only on dark grey. U 875 had a camouflage on the conning tower and on the each side of the deck.
U 2511 had the tower painted in white.
U 874 was full painted in white or in very light grey.
Best regards,
Lionfish.
Who decide the u-boat's camouflage ?

Hi,
I presume the captain. Schnee's boat U 2511 was allegedly painted white referring to his name.....snow.

Hello to all ; bumping this up..................
U-boats that served in the Mediterranean.
Speaking of camouflage, what about the attempt to paint U-boats with a disruptive camouflage to make them more difficult to see? At what moment?
