That looks like VARTA, a German battery manufacturer.

Hi Howiek

Welcome aboard!

The icon/symbol is on two batteries in U-995  :) :)

Thanks, Simon.


I've been following this forum for years now, especially your incredible work. But so far, there was nothing where I could contribute. We recently moved to Hamburg and I'm preparing my first visit to U-995 (about an hour from where I live.......).

What would you say about creating "photo wish-list"?  ;)

Hi Topher and Maciek,


thank you. That photo wish-list thing sounds good. As soon as I have the date of my visit I'll let you all know and we can start gathering the list........

Hi Howiek
Welcome from this part of the world as well. The photowish list is a good idea, I have been playing with the idea as well, but I am afraid it could be a long list. I live about 18 hours ferry trip from Kiel and passed the U 995 about once a month for several years as I was involved in the engines of the Oslo- Kiel passenger car/vessels. I never found the time to visit my old boat though. :)

Thanks, Tore and Anakin. I think it is great to be among these u-boat nuts. Well, Gentlemen, when I have the date nailed down, I'll open a thread for the wish-list..... let's see if we can come up with some ideas.......

Hi Simon,



Maciek, the "July 1942" date, is this the data that it was first discuss or a typo? I have a data of July 1943 for the sea trials of U-194.


This is not a typo, the first trials (but with receivers located on both sides of keel) were conducted in the beginning of July 1942 (with U 185), then - in the end of July the Balkon was designed, and in September there was a decision to conduct trials with U 194 and U 719 (type IXC and VIIC respectively). There is a photo presenting U 194 with Balkon dated on January 1943. The first trials with U 194 were conducted near Bornholm in the end of February.
