U-35 vs. Admiral Graf Spee

Saukko · 01-23-07, 04:09 AM

On June 17th 1938 during fleet parade, U-35 was run over by "pocket battleship" Admiral Graf Spee.

As you can see, the screws of Graf Spee literally sliced the U-35's hull, one plade at time, luckily the pressure hull wasn't damaged. I can only imagine what that must have felt.

Another view.

"Bernard did this!"

Naw, it's a new camo pattern. Fools the Allies into thinking they sank another Uboat and then bingo.... they get it right in the kisser.

Thats the coolest thing I`ve ever seen! Thanks for the pics

Edit: The Allies should have just dropped propellers on the uboats, looks damned effective!
