<HTML>Hi all

I need your help.

Can anyone from you identify any of them

"Types VII-C, 1942 Model (sic), operating somewhere in the Atlantic.The 88mm gun has been replaced by reinforced ainti aircraft armament."

(Source: "U-BOOTE 1935-1945 The history of the Kriegsmarine U-Boats" by
Jean-Philippe Dallies-Labourdette)

I think they are not "operating" in the Atlantic but taking part of a exercises
(in the Baltic?)

"An unusually configured late-war boat.By the time the fully extended Wintergarten
and armoured boxes (Kohlenkasten) had been added to the tower of a Type VII U-Boat, the deck gun would generally be removed to compensate the added weight.
The white circle on the tower side is a temporary tactical sign typical of the type carried by boats assigned to the Baltic training flotillas.(SFL)"

Thanks in advance.
