$19.99

You are offerding on an EXTREMELY RARE example of a WW2 German Kriegsmarine \"Biber\" Submarine Conning Tower Glass Section! This was recovered from a Biber Midget Submarine used at the late stages of the war.

The Biber (German for \"beaver\") was a German midget submarine of the Second World War. Armed with two externally mounted 53-centimetre (21 in) torpedoes or mines, they were intended to attack coastal shipping. They were the smallest submarines in the Kriegsmarine.

The Biber was hastily developed to help meet the threat of an Allied invasion of Europe. This resulted in basic technical flaws that, combined with the inadequate training of their operators, meant they never posed a real threat to Allied shipping, despite 324 submarines being delivered. One of the class\'s few successes was the sinking of the cargo ship Alan A. Dale.
Made of 2 layers, each 1/2\" thick, this Conning Tower Glass Fragment is in EXCELLENT relic condition. Some obvious marks, scratches, and wear, but nothing that detracts. Approx. 2\" x 5\" in size, this originated from one of the 4 driver\'s view ports. I have indicated the location in the last images.Would make a PERFECT addition to any collection or display!Please email me if you need additional photos or information.
