Yes, they had a Kreigsmarine ID book and while I have never actually seen one, the information was taken from pre-war knowledge, neutral merchant reports & actual contact encounters.

I have examples of a US recognition manual showing a sample of the German Vessels from an ID book dated in 1943.
The full pack contains US, UK, JPN, ITN & GER ship ID's

Here's a few examples of what the yanks had.





CERTAINLY DO NOT wish to sound disrespectful, but these would make great mouse mats - gonna do one, get it laminated !!
