Jim that may be here then again one of the other U-Boot Tenders

will send you a PM

What surprises me is the size of the early boots! From the water up they look pretty small, for obvious reasons of course.

 

Hello Bigfun , the uboats around the tender do look tiny ,but must be much larger than they appear . They are probably roughly U-1 -U-20 ..the vast bulk as you suggested is below water line ..for those that dont know ,these were mainly used for short distance patrols and training . I have commander Herbert Bruninghaus personal photo album , he skippered U-6 and later other training U-boats ...Early war he served under ww2 u-boat ace Heinrich Liebe , at this time Bruninghaus was navigator on the famous U-38 ...
I'm trying to hunt down a picture which illustrates just how large some of the u-boats were ..the early numbers type IIA & IIB ,still had a crew of around 24...
Could you have gone down in one ?...me definately not .

I once foolishly let a fantastic original photo album go ...it belonged to a WW2 British officer who served on HMS Unbroken , all his documents / paperwork came with it , great original photos of the sub..At the time I doubled my money and was happy ,now realise it was worth ten times what I was paid ...HMS Unbroken was Commander Mars sub , I remember reading an account of hours of depth charges being dropped around it ..in the subs service it was attacked by over 400 depth charges . ..it was also famous for attacking a train with its gun , putting a major rail route out of action for a while .

 

This is a WW1 U-boat,beached at Hastings..a well known image ..it must have seemed awesome to those kids.

thats one big u-boat!

 

Hello Pascal ...
If you look in the U-boat historia changing website banner ..3 of the images are my property ...webmaster did not ask permission to use the images and has not credited me with ownership .
I suppose I should feel flattered , but in reality just feel annoyed .
So I do not feel warm to this particular forum site .

Jim you've contacted them correct ? the photos are a plus this is why I posted the link

 

Dear James: As you must know, I’m a collaborator in www.u-historia.com webpage from many years.

Precisely, in the section InformaciónI is present an inequivoc reference at you and your website:

And, what are your own property in these items….? Please, explain us these matters.

Thanks in advance.




Jan.

 

Just arrived, already criticized.
I have grouped all the pictures of U-boat being shared on a single post.
It was just for my pleasure and enjoyment of all.
Obviously I am not well come for some.

Thank you Jan for your help.

 

You are welcome, Pascal!

It's also a norm of netiquette in Forums.
