Can anyone tell me if U-1 ever sailed under the Imperial German flag? I’m currently building her in her early scheme with the white conning tower and a drawing i’ve seen shows her with the Imperial flag but all the photo’s i’ve got show her with the Nazi Kriegsmarine ensign.Can anyone help?
Thanks for that,but I’ve been on that site and it doesn’t help alot.
Ok, will take a look at the other end - the flag.
Is this the one? Check this site: http://www.crwflags.com/fotw/flags/de1871~w.html
Apparently it was stopped being used on 27th September 1919.
As for the references you mentioned, I’d always rely on photos before artwork, unless it was created during the same time frame as the subject.

It’s very similar in that the top left hand corner of the image you show is the whole flag.If they stopped using that one in 1919,what did they fly between then and the Reich flag?
