German Navy, ocean going U-Boats 378, 552,347, Type VII U-Boats and Type IX U-Boats in fine art naval prints.  

  U269 had been commissioned in July 1942 and now belonged to the 6th U-Boat Flotilla based at the occupied French port of St Nazaire. Sea trials of new equipment during April and May 1944 had resulted in U269 moving to the port of Brest and it was from here that her commander Oberleutnant Georg Uhl, began a patrol on 6th June. In the early hours of the morning of 11th June U269 was detected on the surface by Liberators radar approximately six miles away. The aircraft, commanded by F/L J Posnett, made visual contact shortly afterwards and began a depth charge attack during which time she wasa engaged by 20mm and 37mm anti-aircraft fire from the submarine. The Liberator's outer starboard engine was hit as was the fuselage and some control surfaces. The damage was sufficient to prevent all but one of the depth charges from releasing and the U-Boat sustained no damage.

U-269   U269 had been commissioned in July 1942 and now belonged to the 6th U-Boat Flotilla based at the occupied French port of St Nazaire. Sea trials of new equipment during April and May 1944 had resulted in U269 moving to the port of Brest and it was from here that her commander Oberleutnant Georg Uhl, began a patrol on 6th June. In the early hours of the morning of 11th June U269 was detected on the surface by Liberators radar approximately six miles away. The aircraft, commanded by F/L J Posnett, made visual contact shortly afterwards and began a depth charge attack during which time she wasa engaged by 20mm and 37mm anti-aircraft fire from the submarine. The Liberator's outer starboard engine was hit as was the fuselage and some control surfaces. The damage was sufficient to prevent all but one of the depth charges from releasing and the U-Boat sustained no damage.

The Liberators crew dealt with an onboard fire and jettisoned the remaining depth charges and the aircraft slowly regained height and eventually returned safely to base.

Having survived this attack U269 was attacked and sunk by the Frigate HMS Bickerton two weeks later. Thirty three of the crew were saved but the casualties included the commander.

U-269 by Ivan Berryman  This limited edition print depicts the Type VIIC U-Boat U269 during an engagement in the English Channel with a B24 Liberator from 224 Squadron based at St Eval in Cornwall.

Dawn Rendezvous  by Anthony Saunders  Germanys U-boat fleet had almost brought Britain to its knees in the First World war, twenty years later the story was very similar. the German U-boat arm came perilously close to cutting the lifeline that crossed the Atlantic between North America and Britain. in the early years of the war Donitz realised that keeping his U-boats at sea for as long as possible would greatly increase their chances of success. here U-93 (left) and U-94 take fuel from the auxiliary cruiser Kormoran whilst in the mid-Atlantic during 1941

Time To Go by Robert Barbour A type VIIC U-boat of the German navys 6th-7th Flotilla slowly manouevres within the confines of the Saint Nazaire submarine pens. The type VIIC was armed with 4 torpedo tubes in the bow and one in the stern, and had a range of patrol of approximately 9,700 nautical miles.

  Atlantic Rendezvous by Robert Barbour A U-boat wallows on the surface in typical Atlantic winter weather in February, 1944.  approaching at low level is a Luftwaffe FW 200 C-8 Condor of 111KG 40 from the base at Bordeaux-Marignac in S.W. France.

Atlantic Comrades by Ivan Berryman The Scharnhorst is pictured in 1939 when she and her sister ship Gneisenau menacingly prowled the North Atlantic. She is shown at dawn as two type VII U-Boats glide towards her for a friendly rendezvous and to take on much needed supplies, as well as a few of the luxuries that the tiny u-boats were simply too small to carry.

Kriegsmarine U-boats 1939-45 (1) by Gordon Williamson. This, the first of two volumes on Germanys World War II U-boats, traces their development from the early U-boats of the Kaisers Navy, through the prohibition on German submarines following the Armistice in 1918 and the subsequent Treaty of Versailles, their secret development through a cover-firm in Holland, culminating in the formation of the 1st U-boat Flotilla in 1935 with the modern Type II.  The operational history section includes examples from the Type VIIA, Type VIIB, VIID, VIIE and VIIF Classes before concentrating on the mainstay of the U-boat arm, the Type VIIC.  Comparisons are also made with the standard allied submarines, their strengths, weaknesses and U-boat tactics.

Kriegsmarine U-boats 1939-45 (2) by Gordon Williamson.  This title follows the New Vanguard 51: Kriegsmarine U-boats 1939-45 (1) and charts the continuing development of the U-boat in German service, including the evolution of the Type IX as a long range cruiser intended for solo operations in distant waters.  Also covered is the revolutionary Type XXI, conceived in 1942 and launched in April 1944.  The first true submarine rather than submersible, the Type XXIs arrival was just too late to influence the war.  Other vessels featured are the Type XXIII, a technically advanced small vessel armed with only two torpedoes, and the Type X minelayers, which were more often used as supply boats than in their intended role.
