Anyone have pictures of U-boat Log Book.

Two things perhaps to consider:

1. The use of Fraktur fonts in *new* KTBs seems to have ceased around mid/end 1941 (after Bormann's January edict). It was replaced with Antiqua fonts.

2. From early 1942 the format apparently became more of a standard essay. The bottom example in the link that BBW posted - http://www.uboatarchive.net/BDUKTBFormat.htm - shows the new style.

One KTB I have dating from 1943 (perhaps the essay style wasn't overly popular with anyone other than Doenitz, LOL!) shows the headings as:

* Datum und Uhrzeit
* Angabe des Ortes, Wind, Wetter, Seegang, Beleuchtung, Sichtigheit [sp?] der Luft, Mondschein USW
* Vorkommnisse

Essentially the same as the image above.

Another, which I think is newer, simply shows the headings as:

* Tag Uhrzeit
* Ort Wetter
* Vorkommnisse

With a vertical running "Heftrand" written in the, surprise surprise, margin.

Both use an Antiqua family font.

I remember researching all this when I first built the KTB feature into SH3Cmdr - it uses a compromise between history and SH3.

Hi Jaesen, thanks for the translation, I will see if I have, or can get the fonts.
Altimately once the artwork is done I could just post for people to printout to make up a book, but what would be better is finding a log program that has a hot key to bring it up, but I don't know if the hot key will work in the game, may cause too many problems, getting the game to accept keyboard characters to a notepad is out I think. We really need a programmer with plenty of spare time to waste!!:rotfl::rotfl:Sorry about that!
Cripes this weather sucks, haven't heard about the Vic fires today, hope they have it under control!

Anyway any advise you may give I'd appreciate it.
Cheers.

actually ... its not a bad idea ... a logbook where you can write your own notes , maybe Sh3 comander can add this feature in future versions

Jmack, do you have a hires view of the Flugbuc (ch) cover or the "torpedo boat" cover, not for the cover printing but the colour/texture of the cover (including smudges)?
If you do let me know & I will PM you with my email address, Thanks.
