Uboat art
 

I have been researching the U-123 for some time now, but still can't find what she had painted on the conning tower, if anything. If some one knows please let me know. Thanks....:up:

If you use GWX, have a look at the "U-123.tga" somewhere among your files, or just paint your boat with this mark.

Only pic of the 123 I found that shows conning tower is this one - and you cant see the sides :damn:

Take a look here http://www.uboataces.com/ref-insignia10.shtml

pg 10-11 of Operation Drumbeat says that painted on the conning tower was "representations of the badge given to soldiers who had been wounded three times in battle: crossed swords against a helmet surrounded by laurel wreaths.", then later a drum.
