I really liked the crew pics......thanks if you get the wish to work on this more.

It is true that none of the U boot that went to the Med survived, (some were scuttled) but U boot command did not want to send them, it was higher up that ordered it and then forgot them...they fought bravely against great odds...

and i saw comment about clearness of water, that was a danger there, as the boats were indeed seen easily if water was too shallow, as the Med is quite clear. So that is accurate.

the camafloge skins mentioned indeed were accurate for that, i saw Fubar's as i was looking for paint schemes for that campaign and his are very nice and right to what pictures i have seen in family collections.

so i do hope possibly this campaign can happen if you wish.

I think I can arrange this for you. Since OMv500 cover this area, I will do some research and see what I can develop for you
