Type VII

[bad karma]

hi,

Finally,i got a positive ID for this boat .

U 660.

Commander Götz Baur is removing or painting the UAK symbol on the antenna housing(cirkel and above a horizontal bar).
Iam thinking he is removing the UAK symbol.
Also,note the Frontreif emblem on the antenna housing.


Hope you like it.

my best regards,

Ron.

hi,

Type VII with a shield of Baron von Münchhausen,i still don`t see the connection between the boat and the Baron.
I think the location is Howaldtswerke in Hamburg,the ship in the back looks the same as seen in commissioned photos of U 677.
Only the boat in question has a different nav light as seen on some Howaldtswerke boats.

Hi
The connection is that the book Baron Münchausen was based on Hieronymus von Münchausen, the same surname as the first commander U 678! I think

hi Nobby,

The emblem on U 678 ``Man riding U-boat`` could be von Münchhausen, what do you think.

Any one knows what versions of VII type were produced at Schichau's shipyard in Elbing?

HI
Found this
U-boat production
In World War I, Schichau initiated production of U-boat production. Both boats had not been completed when the war ended and were eventually broken up. During World War II, Schichau built 94 U-boats for the Kriegsmarine (German Navy) at its Danzig shipyard. The yard in Elbing produced midget submarines of the Seehund class. In addition to the manufacture of Type VII C submarines, the shipyard in Danzig also built the revolutionary Type XXI U-boats. Up to 1944, 62 Type VII C U-boats (and two Type VII C/41s) were built, before production was switched to the Type XXI. A total of 30 submarines of this latter class were built and launched at Danzig by the end of the war, but never saw combat.
