Jim, the "Close Escort" pic! What type of Boot is that! The Fore-Deck looks interesting.

Looks like IXC/40 to me but I might be wrong. What do you say Jim?

Sorry to disagree with you mate but that is actually U-201 photographed during May or June 1941 in Lorient dry-dock after she had arrived back from her first
operational patrol on the 18th May 1941.

Wow! In "Ubootwaffe, Marine-Kleinkampfverbände 1939-1945" by Waldemar Trojca on page 38 is the exact picture with this the description I wrote in my previous post (U-201). Go figure. :hmm:

If you are right and it is actually U-596 then this is SECOND factual mistake I found in U-boat publications this week.

Too bad the picture is too grainy to identify the crest on the conning tower but I am still convinced that the picture in question is indeed U-201 and here is why:
U-201 carried the coat of arms of city of Remscheid.
This one:

U-596 in her whole career carried these three crests:

So if you take a good close look at the picture you can see that the crest on the conning tower is split in two halves (darker at the bottom and lighter on the top). I am leaning towards coat of arms of Remscheid.
Just out of curiosity, would you mind to share your source of the picture?
