The wind defector was added to the top of U 69's tower particularly early. It was there during the boat's commissioning on 2nd November 1940, though not when it was launched in mid-September 1940. Some boats such as U 564 didn't have the wind deflector even as late as November 1941, though most did by that stage.

Hi Dougie,
Thanks for the info and the coments. I would say that looking at the photo in your Snorting Bull pdf that U-69 did have the wind deflector fitted when the laughing cow was painted on the CT. I'm guessing this purely by the the size of the shadow that appears in the photo.
Sav.
PS I'll also be wanting one of your Kriegsmarine flags at some stage
