Hello,
today Polish Navy Museum in Gdynia organised recovery of 2 Bombentorpedoes type BT1000 from ex-Torpedowaffenplatz Gotenhafen Hexengrund (today Gdynia Babie-Doły). So far it looks that these pieces are the only one existing till now.
2 BTs were without engine which was recovered earlier. It has solid propellant.
We hope some new items to be found in future
Regards
Andrzej

This is how it could have looked like: ad hoc assembly in museum (renovation is not finished)
Fins are missing perhaps were lost during droping test.
