U-boat tiefenmesser

Always ask the experts: anyone have a picture of a U-boat tiefenmesser?

Do you know if there was an instruction on the depth gauge with
warnings or an instruction manual describing what depth was safe,
critical or dangerous?

I recall the main depth gauge has a yellow and red band to signify critical and dangerous.
