Thank you so much for the link to the kbismark.com site. I found this:
While I've seen that pic before, I've never seen the hull numbers listed before! The 2nd from the left is listed as U-293!
From the left: U-802 (Type IXC/40), U-293 (Type VIIC/41), U-1105 and U-826 (both Type VIIC). Note that all 3 type VIIs have the atlantic bow.
I cannot seem to open this link from work. Perhaps someone else might have better luck? It supposedly contains more pics of u-297. Thanks!
