Here
are photos of a diorama which shows the U-201. It was on July 15th 1942 in the
middle of the
Atlantic Ocean
, when the U-201
commanded by the captain, Aldaber Scnhnee, stopped the British tanker, Yeoman,
with a single torpedo and then sank it with the 88mm cannon of in order to save
its precious torpedoes. If the actors are historically true, acts are the pure
fruit of my imagination, but I think I 'm
not too far from the truth because before being enemies, we had to matter above
all with sailors who had certain values!
To
finish the model is the Revell Type VII U-Boat in 1/72 scale, with the Eduard
photo-etch, a lot of personal work, and the transformed figurines from the
Preiser brand.
(Editor's
Note: Labels on photographs incorrectly state U-202, instead of the correct
U-201.)
