This is the forum for Movie and Film discussions. Again, our topic is naval warfare in WWII for the most part.

<HTML>Yes. The Me 155 was transfered to Blohm und Voss in 1943. The Bv 155 first flew on 1 September 1944. My book doesn\'t give the range of the 155, but a 109 had a range of around 400 miles.
The movie could have had a Blohm und Voss 138, a three-engine floatplane with nearly 3000 miles range that was used with the Norwegian U-boats in operations against covoys supplying Russia. This was the only example of cooperation between the Kriegsmarine and the Luftwaffe.
The other possibility would have been the Arado 196, the two-pontoon floatplane I mentioned earlier.</HTML>
