Re: Looking for photos of U-Boats with V-1 deck launchers

This link seems to reinforce the opinion, that Luftwaffe v Kriegsmarine inter-service rivalry meant some resistance to deploying a "Luftwaffe weapon" - the V-1 - onto Kriegsmarine U-Boats.


Equally interesting are the US plans to potentially use the sub-launched V-1/Loons against Japanese targets during the invasion of the Japanese home islands.
