Hello Martyn,

And there was me thinking that I was the one that was always looking for odd reference material.

I have had a quick look this morning while waiting for my hot cross buns to become hot and so far all I have found is a photo showing what is reported to be some poor sould washing up in the galley.

This is on page 61 of the book"U-Boote" by Jean -Philippe Dallies - Labourdette.

I will keep looking as I am sure I have seen more some where.

I will state that if any group of people can and will help you its this crew here on this web site.

Good hunting

Hang on here is another photo , it`s on page 89 of the booy "U-Boat century" by Jak Mallmann Showell, ok it shows the galley, well part of from a Type IX.

Here we go, try this link, it should take you to a photo of the galley in U995, even got a cooker hood, well I think thats what it is..

Got to go I can smell me buns burning, don`t be vulgar.

Here is couple of pictures from U-995 Type VIIC/41






These pictures are from "U-Boat Combat Missions - The Pursuers & The Pursued: First Hand Accounts of U-Boat Life and Operations, Lawrence Paterson, Chatham Publishing 2007" and are shown here for discussion purposes only.

Thanks for the links and pictures guys. I can start my project soon!
It is an odd question I know .

You might try the Chicago museum of science and industry. They may have a book on the U-505. I have found that if you get in touch with the right person at a museum You can get a lot of help on a project like this.

You can find some here: http://modelshipwrights.kitmaker.net//features/2243
