Description
Tiny terrors of the Third Reich
At just 41ft in length, Seehund submarines were only slightly longer than the payload they carried. Nevertheless, these tiny, two-man terrors were much more effective against Allied shipping than their diminutive size might suggest. Their success was predicated on the fact that they were virtually impossible to detect when submerged. The type\'s only failing was that it was unseaworthy; storms caused most of the 35 Seehund losses during the war. Kit features detailed parts, two torpedoes, display stand and decals for two submarines, U-5022 and U-5316.
The mini-sub \"Seehund\" was the end result of a development of simple weapons of attack by the German navy towards the end of the Second World War. Due to its slim shape, which could not be located by the then sonar, its quiet engine and good seaworthiness, the German navy had great hopes for the operation of this little weapon of war. The 285 built sank 93,000 GRT of enemy shipping and the French destroyer \"La Combattante\". A single voyage could last up to seven days, which made enormous demands on the physical and mental reserves of the two crew members.
