<HTML>Hi Bill ,

She's really the U-995 , i saw the emblem with a big zoom , and it's not the iron cross of the U-953 that i'd believe , but the two caracteres of the U-995 , it's very sure !

The picture come from a french magazin "Marines" number six .
I saw a picture about the U-953 in a book that i'd forget the title , in a book shop at Paris . The schnorkel of the U-953 is a very first model with a tube along side the tower curved as a "S" , like U-235 , and U-764 for example .
I saw two emblems in front of the tower . The submarine in the picture post by Antonio ( muchas gracias Antonio ) had a late schnorkel with a ring floater and without a tube along the tower ( in oposition to the U-995 today with a ball floater ), and a single emblem on the tower .

Well i re-ask : Who made this transformations in the schnorkel and on the house of the compas on the U-995 ? Germans or Norwegians ?

Thanks to alls.</HTML>
