Whether on sea or on dry land the ability to make signals
using only flags was a time-honoured naval
tradition.
Gunther Prien was one of the outstanding U Boat aces of the
early part of WW2 and the first to win the coveted "Knight's
Cross". His submarine U47 sank over 200,000 tons of Allied
Shipping including the British battleship, "HMS Royal Oak"
at anchor in Scapa Flow, Britain's northern fleet anchorage.
Prien and U47 went missing on March 7, 1941 and no official
record states how or why he and his U boat were lost. No
trace of him or his boat has ever been found!

All branches of the German armed forces had their own
"chained-dogs" to enforce base security and discipline. Our
Petty Officer carries both a pistol and a sub-machine
gun.
Our very latest "Strictly Limited" release
the type
127 U Boot "SEEHUND" (The Seal). This was the most
successful of Nazi Germany's mini submarines created during
WW2. Designed in 1944 and operated by a two-man crew the
Kriegsmarine operated these boats during the closing nine
months of the war. Each midget U boat carried two "G7e
torpedoes" on either side of the hull. Although a total of
1,000 Seehunds were ordered just 285 entered service. Our
K&C model is finished in a typical mottled "leopard"
camouflage of sea green on a light sea gray background. Each
boat comes complete with its own special wheeled transport
"cradle" and towing rod. Just 750 of this unique little U
Boat are being produced.
A second K&C version of the venerated leader of the
Kriegsmarine's submarine arm. Here the admiral is dressed in
his everyday working uniform and stands, arms folded,
talking to one of his men.
Another of Donitz's most famous U Boat aces, Kretschmer and
boats under his command sank almost 300,000 tons of Allied
shipping between 1939 and 1941 when he was captured. He
rejoined the Bundesmarine in 1955 finally retiring in 1965
as a "Flotilla Admiral". Sadly, he died in a boating
accident in 1998.

More than 2,500 of these heavy recovery vehicles were
produced during the war in many various versions. Although
most were used in Artillery or Armoured units a fair number
were used by the Kriegsmarine to move heavy items around
naval bases and dockyards. Our Famo is in field gray and is
designed to pull and position our "SEEHUND" for launching
and recovery. The Driver is included.
This handy structure is the perfect setting for our latest
"Sampans" to moor alongside... at the same time it can also
be used singly or in multiples to make a dockside scene for
any of the naval vessels we are currently working on and
about to release. Item is constructed in mixed media of
polystone and expanded polyurethane. Length 15.25" (38cm),
Width 6" (15.5cm) and Height 4.5" (11cm).
Representing a metal and stone footbridge that perfectly
joins two sections of K&C's recently released jetty
(SP029) to make an impressive display for a wide range of
historical periods and ranges. Length: 7.87" (20cm), Width:
4.60" (11.7cm), Height: 3.93" (10cm)
