<HTML>Leif,
Having bought yesterday the video from U 571 and noticed once again how dumb and insulting this movie is for all who fought in WW II, I also noticed that the sky/observation periscope is on the wrong place, that is behind the conning tower hatch. Your pics show also well the attack periscope in it\'s - wrong- front housing. One wonders if this error could partly be explained by the two attack periscopes fitted to U 995 in Laboe.
Best regards
