Hi Derstosstrupp, continuing to really enjoy these. Another 2 questions if I may:

1: Further to the issue of the colour of the deck; so black. Would that have just been a matt black colour designed to be weather resistant? I keep seeing photos of u boat decking and there is such a range of shades there to suggest the black faded pretty quickly to look almost grey. Trying to match a model colour.

2. Attack periscope optics: what we see in Wolfpack, is that realistic in terms of markings? Is that what a real u boat captain would have seen when he looked through a periscope?

Thanks in advance.
