Fahrt-Gerat simulator
Posted by: John Conc ()

Hi Everybody

I am looking for any photographs or schematics for the Fahrt-Gerat convoy attack simulator that was situated at Neustadt. According to interrogation records, it consisted of "a complete U-boat conning tower suspended above a sheet of water with the periscope looking down upon it. On the sheet of water are miniature ships on metal rods. They form convoys which move about at varying speeds and courses, directed by a civilian named Barkow."

Has anyone ever seen pictures of the device or could point me to further information? Including on Mr Barkow? Any assistance would be much appreciated.

Cheers.
