The U-Boot type VII-C is the best known German submarine from World War II. It was built in large numbers and upgraded several times. This type represents the ultimate high point of the submarine era. Equipped with four bow and one stern torpedo the VII-C was a fearsome weapon. The task assigned to the German submarines was trade warfare. They were designed to disrupt England’s supply lines and innumerable sunken ships bear witness to that. The Grey Wolves of the Atlantic made war on escort convoys and hunted in packs. Accustomed to success, however, the period from 1943 was devastating for the German submarines: the hunters became the hunted. New search equipment tracked the German submarines mercilessly and turned them into steel coffins for innumerable German submarine crews. The type VII-C submarine illustrates the rise and fall of German submarine warfare.Technical data: length 67.1 m, two 2,800 hp diesel engines gave a top speed of 17.6 knots surfaced, 2 battery driven electric motors gave a top speed of 7.6 knots dived, minimum depth 100 m, crew approx. 44 men.- New mould
