Re: Type VIIC Turm IV with deck gun

All Type VII and IX carried deck guns at one point, they were landed in most cases when the AA fits were increased in 1943-44. There are a few exceptions, and those are the ones I'm looking for. I know that U-242 retained her deck gun in addition to the Turm IV, I have not been able to find any proof of a Turm IV with quad 20mm and deck gun though...if nothing else, it gets the researchers motivated!

This has driven me crazy...not you usual U-boat configuration question that's for sure!
