Has anyone considered making a small document (with line drawings, colours, etc.) to show the details, dimensions, colours etc. of the torpedoes?
Please?
It's a nice idea, but probably impossible to fulfill if you want to cover all types of torpedoes and their variants. So much original documents/material is simply not available (a lot was lost during the last year of the war, and much have been destroyed afterwards).
I have the german lists of torpedoes with technical specs for all the operationally G7a and G7e variants (minor differences externally). The tricky part is the types that were in different stages of development...
Natter... would this be something that you might want to tackle?
You are the resident expert on German torpedoes.
Expert is a strong word, although I probably have more than average knowledge on the topic... ;-)
Sadly, I don't have the skills in graphic design to create anything like the stuff made by for instance NZSnowman.
I'm struggling with some health issues as well, so I'm not able to spend much time on the computer (among my numerous projects on hold, is an indepth article (70 pages so far) on the G7ef(TX) torpedo and the german "Spinnebatteries" :-( ).
I'd be happy to assist as much as possible with comments on drawings etc though :-)
