U-Boat Type IIB (1939) - German Submarine

The coastal Type II U-Boats were the first German submarines built after the First World War, entering Kriegsmarine service in 1935–1936. The improved Type IIB boats took on mine-laying duties around ports and river estuaries on England and Scotland’s eastern coast and operated against shipping in the English Channel. From spring 1941, these coastal submarines were used mainly for training in the Baltic.
