This item is a custom printed tile accessory for a toy minifigure, designed to represent a German U-boat’s “victory tally” board from World War II. The Chinese filename “战绩表” (Zhànjì biǎo) also translates to “Tally Sheet” or “Scoreboard.”
This type of board or painted marking was used by submarine crews to keep a record of the Allied ships they had successfully sunk during their patrols in the Battle of the Atlantic.
The design on the tile is filled with specific historical details:
- A large silhouette of a German U-Boat is the central image.
- The board lists various types of ships sunk, showing silhouettes of freighters, tankers, and warships next to the flags of their nationality—primarily the British Red Ensign and the Canadian Red Ensign—and the number of each type destroyed.
- Most notably, the top-left corner features a green leaping kangaroo emblem. This was the specific insignia of the famous German submarine U-96, which was the subject of the renowned 1981 film Das Boot. This detail makes the piece a direct tribute to that specific, well-known U-boat.
This is a perfect accessory for adding a high level of historical and cultural detail to a diorama of a U-boat’s interior or a naval base.
