Re: T5 Paint Colors for U-505

Hi Keith,

Wow that’s a tough one. There are so few U-boat related color photographs around you might have to find someone who served on a U-boat that deployed T5’s to get an answer. Horst Bredow might know someone like that. He was an IIWO but he might know the answer himself as he served later in the war. So many of the boats that went out later in the war when the T5s were used didn’t come back that finding the right person might be very difficult too.

You might also make your post on the modeling forum. Those guys are always trying to find out what color something was and one of them just might have come across the information you are looking for.

Additionally there were some T5s on U-534. See: [www.u534.coolfreepages.com].

They look pretty bad but perhaps one of those guys saw a bit of the real color through all that rust and marine growth or perhaps they could scrape some of it off to look for you. As they pulled them out of U-534 & disarmed them perhaps they have a contact that could help you that worked on other T5s too.

If you do find out the answer to your question please post it on the forum. I am sure a lot of us would like to know the answer but the modelers will especially appreciate it.

Regards,

Ken Dunn
