Notes
Deutschland attacked by Soviet lt bombers off Spain in 1937. Renamed Lützow at the starrtt of the war (to avoid “Deutschland” sinking). Served
in invasion of Norway. Kept in repair dock by further torpedo hits and groundings until 1944/45, when active in the Baltic. Sunk 16-Apr-45 at
Sweinemunde. Scheer raided South Atlantic and Indian Ocean Nov-40 to Mar-41. Used abortively off Norway, then decommissioned for 15
months. Active in Baltic 1944/45. Sunk in Kiel in May-45. Graf Spee raided the South Atlantic and Indian Ocean successfully Sep-Dec, 1939;
attacked by 3 RN cruisers in Rio Plata between Argentia and Uruguay and damaged; scuttled by her Captain the next day.

These were the most common two German U-boat models. The Type
IX was slightly larger, built for longer range patrols. The Type VII boats AAA Location Guide
mounted an 88mm on a mount that could not be used for AA. Later in
the war, many AA became twin mounts (4+ on a D10 for each mount).
The Metox system allowed the U-boats to detect the presence of ASV 37-1 20-1
radars, and alert them to dive.
