The "Biber" was the most well-known "pocket" submarine used by the
Kriegsmarine during the latter part of World War II. The development of
the Biber was extremely rapid. Design began in February 1944, and the
first units were launched just 6 months later. Measuring just 9 meters
long, it had a range of 240 km. It could reach a maximum speed of 6.5
knots surfaced and 5.3 knots submerged. The Biber could be armed with
two 530 mm torpedoes, mounted externally to the submarine, or with two
mines. Its crew consisted of only one person. The purpose of the Biber
within the strategy of the Kriegsmarine was quite simple: to provide a
concrete defense along the coasts to protect against a possible, and
increasingly likely, Allied invasion. From 1944 until the end of World
War II, the Kriegsmarine received and deployed over 300 Bibers.
Warning! Not suitable for children under 3 years due to small parts. Choking hazard!
