Everyone knows about the Dormier P.85 aircraft project, a Do17Z with, among other differences, floats and straight wings. It wasn`t included in the attached table, taken from a BA/MA file on the contest for a seaplane bomber, known as "Kampfflugzeug See" or as See-Stuka, as may see. There were...

Those who tought, like me, that all the German engineering expertise on hardware airships ended with the Hindenburg, are wrong. The BA/MA in Freiburg has a file (included in RM 7/2382), dated 12.2.1938,and stemming from the Kriegsmarine, refering to a proposal, serious enough to the point of...

The Bundesarchiv/Militäraarchiv listened to my prayers and made available the plans for a German fleet submarine project I was looking after since I bought Eberhardt Rössler`s "Geschichte des Deutschen Ubootbaus", in the early1990`s. All we had was a cross section and the general specifications...

Hi! I am new to this forum, looking for both basic and deeply technical information on the famous German battleship, Bismarck. My aim is to gather technical and scientific information about this ship, then recreate it rigorously in an ambitious university project and, subsequently, publish it...

Interesting documents : https://maritime.org/doc/id/oni220-german-japan-subs/index.php#toc

Video might be of interest. Can't speak to its accuracy, but at least it doesn't seem too insane. View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kfio0VHXUmw

Howdy folks! I recently came across these two designs/blueprints of the D-class panzerschiffe (more like battlecruisers at this point), which were originally named Ersatz Elsass and Ersatz Hessen that eventually became battlecruisers Scharnhorst and Gneisenau from my understanding of their...

Hello and welcome, This is a hub for all things Kriegsmarine. You will find information, data, and even deductions like this nearly nowhere else - and I take great pride in that. So if you have a question about the Kriegsmarine, are looking for some specific ship or weapon, or even want...

At the end of World War 2, the U-boat U-530 surrendered at Buenos Aires, Argentina. At the time, it was commanded by a very young lieutenant in the Kreigsmarine. The problem was this U-boat took far longer to reach Argentina than it should have, and when it finally arrived in July 1945, the...

Usual caveats apply, full size cutaway at http://www.hisutton.com/Type-XXI-U-Boat-of-World-War-Two.html The Type-XXI was important in a lot of ways, but had the Ursel rockets made it into service I think it could have further reshaped Cold War submarine equipment, at least in the immediate...

Over on this facebook discussion group https://www.facebook.com/groups/208708329671558/ Someone named Stefan Bachi has posted the following drawings under the title ATLANTIKBOMBER-KREUZER and GROßER Atlantikbomber-Kreuzer. I find them, erm... surprising, just wondered if anyone knew more about...

Meant to add 'Operation Wilfred' as a tag as well but ran into the limit.

I am currently researching the history of automatic cannon and their ammunition and would appreciate some help with an obscure German naval AA gun: the 3,7 cm Flak SK C/36. I have put down my thoughts on this almost unknown project as follows: The evidence in favour of its existence is as...

https://forum.worldofwarships.com/topic/81025-wargaming-what-on-earth-is-this-yorck/ any original drawing regarding the admiral graf spee conception and why it was fitted with that tower? was this tower decided to be fitted in this ship from the start?

The I-400 was the biggest ever submarine built in WW2 and the largest until the advent of the nuclear powered ballistic missile subs, but the Regia Marina is not known to have built any gigantic submarines because it was pounded big time in the November 1940 Battle of Taranto. However I wanted...

Hello all, I'm searching infos regarding real (albeit conceptual only) battleship projects distinguishing themselves for extraordinary caliber of main guns and/or number of main guns and displacement. I'm aware of the following, some yet briefly discussed in other topics: -Tillman maximum...
