Hi guys,
Here is one low quality image found in internet.
Type II is loading a torpedo with an exercise head.
There are two pictures in my Vesikko book:
page 37 Type IIB, page 69 Vesikko.

Hi Timo,
The photo can be found on page 26 of "U-Boote: 1935-1945 The History Of The Kriegsmarine U-boats" by Jean Philippe Dallies-Labourdette (Histoire & Collections, 1996). The caption in the books says it is a VIIB...but I am sure you agree it isn't!

Hi Timo, I'm a bit late in replying, but I wanted to let you know that your book is outstanding! It was a great help to me during my U3 build and I will use it again for my next Type IIa build.

Thanks Timo for the image :)
I see it came from the Finnish National Archives, I was just wondering do they hold many of the original documents?
-
Yes, there is lot

I jealous. It a long way for me to see other original U-boat documents.
Have they started to scan them, or are they all still paper? Some of the important original documents in NZ are being scanned, to able viewing and for a backup.

great document, LOVE the detail, we need many more of these!
