Hi Nobby,

neither Norway nor Kiel, but U 338 commissioning at Emden. Today's Emden looks somewhat different!

Have fun

Axel

Is it Kptlt Kinzel (Lufwaffe and U404) June 1943?
I have doubts!

Hi Nobby,

sorry to say, but my previous identification was incorrect. It should read U 302 at Lübeck Flenderwerft instead. The boat partly visible on the right should probably be U 303, still fitting out.

Errare humanum est.

Mein Gott!
I had not thought of you as human but a font of knowledge!
Have image of U 303 taken from a different angle but shows foliage!
Have a lie down!
