Uboot schemas

[Andrea]

Hello everyone,

I'm using a sowtfare for 3D design and I'd like to "build" a german uboot.

Does anyone has some designs (front, top, side view) of a Type VIIC?

Thanks in advance

Andrea

Hello Andrea.

There are a couple of good sources out there but it depends a little how detailed the information should be.

"Geschichte des deutschen Ubootbaus" Rössler, Eberhard, ISBN: 3469005079 , J. F. Lehmanns, 1975

This book has drawings and schematics of everything in a uboat, interior and exterior, some in nice A2-A3 size fold out. Rich in technical detail. The book is in german. See link below:

"The Type VII U-Boat" Westwood, David, ISBN: 1591148863 , US Naval Institute Press; Revised edition, (July 2003)

This book gives a more general view of the type VII and does not put too much emphasis on the technical side. Focuses more on the exterior. The book is in english. See link below:

I hope that those suggestions will get you started.

Good luck with your project.

A great source of U-boat diagrams, line drawings, etc. is Rossler's THE U-BOAT: The Evolution and Technical History of German Submarines. It's been out of print since 2001 and some booksellers are asking outrageous prices for it.

NEW copies are still available at: http://www.sonic.net/~books Here's the description:
