ICM 1:144 U-Boat Type IIB (1939) German Submarine – ICMS009

The coastal Type II U-Boats became the first vessels of this class that were built in Germany after the end of WWI. The improved II series submarines were built in Deutsche Werke (U13-U16) and Germania Werft in Kiel (U7-U12, U17-U24). They all were included to the Kriegsmarine in 1935-1936. Two flotillas were formed with those vessels the 1st Weddigen and 3d Lohs.

With the beginning of WWII, the Type II U-Boats were in active use as mine-layers in the ports and river estuaries of England and Scotland’s Eastern Coast, and also for the anti-shipping struggle in the English Channel area. From Spring 1941, the coastal UBoats were used mainly in training role in the Baltic.
