As for color, was green or red?

Exploring the net, I came across this interesting picture of the U-96, in bull blowing the 7th Flotilla:



Hi !

U-96 was an Type VIIC Sub (http://www.uboat.net/boats/u96.htm) and have an black sawfish ! The green sawfish was the emblem from the 9th U-Boat-Flotilla in Brest (http://www.uboat.net/special/emblems/u96.html).

The follow subs have an sawfish (in different colors) as emblem too:

U91, U 92, U96, U 211, U 214, U 217, U 218, U 230, U 409, U 591, U 595, U 604, U 659, U 664, U 744, U 755, U 764 und U 954.
