      Hi All,

      Did you have photos of the U-199? I have a particular interest on this because the place where is sunk. The coast of Rio.
      Thanks,
      Otto

                Great pics...Bill, those pics of Prien and U-47 are rare, esp the candid shot of Prien in the conning tower wearing his scrungy "underway" uniform.

                  Andy,

                  Thanks! Just to let you know I have just sold those pics to another collector. I don't collect Kriegsmarine or SS so those types of photos leave my hands very fast. Bill

                    Some information on photos

                    The first photo of U-47 would be consistent with the dates of the 8 patrol based on the conning tower modifications visible which were made in the Oct - Nov 1939 refit. The color at that time was believed to be dunkelgrau 51.

                    Pictures 2, 3 and 5 show the conning tower modifications after the July - August 1940 refit and the color was now schlickgrau 58.

                    Picture 4 of the boat in dry dock is not the 47 boat ( a type VII B ) but looks like a type IX boat from the pattern of the limber holes.

                    Great pics. I hope they don't disappear from site now.
                    Thanks for sharing these with us.

                    Regards,
                    Mike Coleman
