Re: Blohm + Voss Hamburg
HI
Don't know which boat this is, but been waiting for a picture like this for some time.
The deck around the flak gun is not standard-which is a cobweb pattern of squares-this boat has a cobweb pattern of planks.
So any clues would be welcome.
regards. MH.

Fotos for comparison

All taken at the same place, our mystery boat has different shipyard symbol and probably launched winter-time but boats have similar
features!
I think maybe 613??? 3/1942

HI. I believe this is another picture of the commissioning of U 953.
The deck ,the number of crewmen at the flag, the position of the commander all point to this.

Hi
Yes, could be! I noticed on the commissioning foto link on the duck's topic 953, that the date is given as 1943, in fact it was dec 17 1942!
