Kevin,

Here is a link

Kevin,

Here is a link to a french site that has alot of ships drawings and pictures on it. The Delphin is one, although it has no pictures. The drawings are of the Delphin I and Delphin II. They are in .Tif format. If you cannot open .tif's let me know. I have photoshop and can convert to Jpeg.

Kevin,

It is listed

Kevin,

It is listed as a German pocket (midget) submarine. The drawings show it as a one man midget sub. Only 2 or 3 of the drawings are usable. I will post the jpegs. They look a little grainy, but they open up pretty well. I haven't got done modifying them to look real good. Any photo software should be able to fix and resize to your needs.

The Caption says Tauchtank. Reaching waaaaaaaay back to my high school german, and a handy german/English dictionary. It translates into Diving Tank. Tauchen meaning to dive and tank meaning, you guessed it Tank

Yes the Delphin was a

Yes the Delphin was a dynamic diver. The tank was probably there to correct for lighter crewmen/pilots, water buoyancy, and trim and also to get the boat to a point where it was only just positively buoyant.
