German U-Boat Type VII C
Special Version U-Flak & Midget Sub Carrier
Kit # S519
$18.45 1/350 Scale
By the spring of 1943 the losses of German submarines by Allied anti-submarine
aircraft attacks reached critical levels.
It compelled the Kriegsmarine to reinforce boat anti-aircraft armament and to
re-equip some into special air defense boats.
Fierce fighting that followed in Bay of Biscay showed the hopelessness of these
decisions and by the end of 1943 the functioning anti-aircraft defense boats
received standard arms.
Near the end of 1944 some type VII C submarines were used as carriers of
midget "Biber"type submarines, but this was unsuccessful.
