Hi
At the risk of being wrong again! I agree that it could be U1207 23 March44 and I offer U1171 comissioned the day before at Danzig!for the second one!
Fingers crossed!

Hi
My point is that Ron's two pictures seem to have been taken at the same place on or about 22 March 1944 comissioning? U 1207 23 March and U 1171 22 March 1944 1196 was on 18 Nov 43

Just want to know for certain please?

Hi Pikap,

I agree,U 591 on the right with the eagle emblem.

Regarding this picture.
Image

In the background you see the harborcranes.I think the bridge is going open for U 406.
If the boats entered the harbor after a patrol the bow(s) is pointed that way.

In this picture you see the lock gate.
Image

:idea: :idea: :idea: :idea:

What do you think.

And for the other pictures i get back to you.


my best regards,

Ron.

Hello,

U-1171 had a compas house with a cone shape. The picture on the topic shows a cylinder shape. Well this isn't U-1171.

Best regards,
Lionfish.

Hi there,

I regret to say that the pic presented as U 1207 is certainly not U 1207 but U 1203.

Buchheim pic (one out of a series) was no doubt taken on 26 June 43 showing boats outbound in the lock. Even BdU staff was liable to mistakes in writing up his diary!!

Best regards

Axel
