Question for U-Boat Aficionados

Removal of the deck gun predates the installation of the snorkel. AIUI it was removed in 1943 when the AA armamant was upgraded and before the snorkel began to be fitted. The snorkel stowed into the submarine deck casing in front of the conning tower port side. So there would not have been room for the gun crew to operate it without falling into the "hole". Here is a list of German snorkel subs. If you can trace photos you might find an exception.
