Hello,
Sorry, i don't speak english very well. Here's my new mannequin of a midget submarine pilot. Period photographs are rare, i think it is credible but others points of view are welcome.
Do you think it's a good idea to add a luftwaffe wrist compass ?
Sincerely, Benoit

Best looking mini-sub set-up I've ever seen!!! I would love to see some pictures of that little boat

Excellent mannequin!!!

[Pierre]

Great and unusual set. Glad to see that you didn't choose to buy the cheap mannequin we see today on the market to display your set. Hindsgaul makes the difference. We are accustomed to the high quality of your stuff.

If this is a Biber-Fahrer, he shall not have a wrist compass, as far as I understand. There are very few photos of Biber-Fahrers ready to take off, but on the ones I have seen no compass can be seen.

[Benoit]

Hello All, thank you very much for your kind words. I ask about the wrist compass because i think, but i'm not sure, the sailor on this photograph has a wrist compass.
Sincerely, Benoit

Gee! Missed that one! in that case, I can well imagine that they used Luftwaffe stuff.
By the way, I took the liberty to lighten up the two photos that started this thread. Hope that´s OK.
