Description
Description
The "Biber" was the best-known "pocket" submarine used by the Kriegsmarine during the final part of the Second World War. Development of the Biber was extremely rapid. Design began in February 1944, and the first units were launched only six months later. It measured only 9 metres in length and had a range of 240 km. It could reach a top speed of 6.5 knots on the surface and 5.3 knots submerged. The Biber could be armed with two 530 mm torpedoes, mounted externally on the submarine, or with two mines. Its crew consisted of only one person. The purpose of the Biber within Kriegsmarine strategy was fairly simple: to provide a concrete defence along the coasts to protect against a possible, and increasingly likely, Allied invasion. From 1944 to the end of the Second World War, the Kriegsmarine received and deployed over 300 Bibers.
The finished model measures 18.6cm.
