      Thats a good question Dave. I also had a question about that. The picture source says a Soviet submarine. It seems small and the sail doesnt match any of the pictures that I have. Its possible that it is a Soviet sub with one of many mods to her sail. Or the picture source assumed that it was Soviet, being in error.

            Certainly looks like it.

              Another weapon used against submarines in WW2 is this light seen here mounted under the wing of a B-24 LiberatorClick image for larger version

                The Leigh-light. Note how this industrious guy is also using his garrison cap to polish the lens cover.
