Hello!

Concerning colours of german VIIc submarines...

d) Außenschiff außen:

Waagrechte Flächen: schwarz
Senkrechte Flächen: grau

unter Schwimmlinie
2 Mal Rostschutzgrundfarbe grau
1 Mal Schiffsbodenfarbe [W.L.]
1 Mal Schiffsbodenfarbe [W.L.] RAL 7016 grau

über Schwimmlinie
2 Mal Rostschutzgrundfarbe grau
2 Mal Deckfarbe Nr. 58 schlickgrau, matt

e) Oberdeck:

Holzdeck. Imprägniert mit einem geeigneten Konservierungsmittel
Farbton: schwarz und Eisendeck
2 Mal Rostschutzgrundfarbe grau
2 Mal trittfeste Außendeckfarbe RAL 9005 schwarz

What I can understand of this is that the German subs was painted in RAL 7016 grau under the waterline and with Nr. 58 schlickgrau above the waterline (Not Nr. 50 or 51 (RAL 7001 or RAL 7000) !) and RAL 9005 schwarz on the deck...

So is the common opinion that the subs where painted in 50 or 51 wrong?
Was the subs painted in 58 according to the regulation or...?
And last what colour is the Nr. 58 according to RAL, FS or...?

Best Regards
André B.
