Hi Ron
Axel has identified "my boat" as 1061!
So the photo above is unknown to me!

Hi Nobby,

There are to many gaps now in my archive due one of my harddrive crash,i lost at least thousand of pictures/drawings etc etc.

The Type VII-F is approximateley 1,1 meter wider than a VII-C,
enough space to fit these rails on both sides of the boat.

Axel is right,why do i even have my doubts.

U-1061 more pictures.

And this Type VII goes into my U-Who archive.

my best regards,

Hi Ron,

you better put it into your U 241 file where it belongs. Just a small helper to clean up your hard disk over the weekend.

Cheers

Axel

Hi
Think this is U 1210 in March 1944 at F.SCHIAU GmbH DANZIG with commander Paul Gabert!
I,of course could be wrong! wrong!
Please be gentle.

HI Think boat above is U 390 Heinz Geissler. Where the wintergarden handrail joins the conning tower body, is a triangle of metal-this occurs on U 385, and on U 387 above. Both boats from Kiel. So believe this is one of same series.

Regards MH.

Nobby,

you keep us busy, much appreciated!

There is no contradiction about U 235, just note, that Mark made a best guess only.

Your latest puzzle is U 425. I wonder, when you will come up with a nice pic of U 1276 I am already waiting for so long!!

Cheers

Axel
