Oh man Jan.  Just when I thought I'd figured out everything I needed to do to finish my build, now you've added another few weeks worth of work!

I'd suspected most of what appears on those websites, but hadn't found proof of it.

Well done BTW!!!

Hi everybody. I saw a very nice Doku on TV yesterday...you can watch it, too. Go to http://www.n24.de/ (sorry, there is no direct link) and if you scroll a bit downwards you`ll see "Auf Feindfahrt - Angriff der Wolfsrudel". If not, you might find it under "videos"...

Enjoy!

Thank you mate!

Need some help concerning those bowplane cable tensioners please:

When I googled for pics of U-711, I found tons of veeerrry nice ones of U-711s wreck on
http://www.harstad.dk/web/2/.

As you might see on the pic, the bowplane support seems to be very smooth:


Couldn`t find too much pics of tensioners, so don`t know, if there is any kind of big bolt holding them... Plus, if there was a big bolt, it might be hidden by algae and stuff...

So my question is, does the pic allow the conclusion, U-711 did not have those bowplane cable tensioners? What is your opinion?

Jan, very nice and detailed work!

Tensioners - I can't say, except that a rotting wreck most surely would have eroded evidence...
