To me the boat they used for the external shots in Das Boot was a VIIC with a bow cutter on it, though VIIC's didn't usually have bow cutters on them, yet VIIB's did, but the conning tower looks more like a VIIC than a VIIB. What gives? Could it have just been a VIIC w/ a bow cutter put on it, or a VIIB with a different conning tower?
