Paint schemes Posted by: P_Woodworth () Date: November 18, 2010 12:04AM Hi all, I was just wondering if the U-Boats had any particular paint schemes.

There is one photo in particular, that provides a reasonably good indication of the three shades of grey for the upper hull, lower hull, and the deck.

Date: July 14, 2005 12:16PM I read recently a report of some U-Boats in Norwegian bases with varying colour schemes, some were described as blue or grey, one as 'bright' blue and one as black and white.
