Hi guys,

Here is another image from the original Vesikko / Type IIA torpedo loading manual.
It shows the whole external loading system.

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?

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.
