Hello all....I just picked up this photo recently. I love it...check out the ice on the boat and the banners/flags from bow to aft. The seller claimed it was of U-704 because he picked it up from a lot from Wilhelm Heinrich...he was a crew member on U-704. Well, U-704 was a Type VIIC and the boat in the photo is obviously a Type IXB...(right?)...As far as I know, there were only 14 IXBs made and most of them were pretty famous. Maybe Heinrich photographed this boat while U-704 was in another base?
Also, check out the conning tower...It looks like maybe there was a collision?
Anyone have any idea what port they are in? Looks like Northern Germany in winter somewhere.
I hope someone can help me ID this boat. I can't make out any markings on the tower..........any and all input would be most appreciated!
Vielen dank!
