Another group of u-boat fotos, This colored card was the cover of a WW1 game for children. Note the ww1 Iron cross flag
Below, effective allied bombing on U-boat dry dock.
Here one can see the narrow deck and the loading of torpedoes as an officer looks on.
Amazing to think all these submarines and their crews are at the bottom of the ocean.
