jmarc,
As a start I recommend that you "Google" the word "Bachstelze:" (translates as "Wagtail"). There is a 2.21 minute film of the beast being assembled and deployed from a U-boat some time in 1942 on "U-Tube." It includes brief shots of the stowage containers and the towing winch. That may give you what you want, otherwise you will need to dig further.

Thanks for taking the time to respond , Yes I have seen that UTUBE file, but it's for a 2 tear version of the SUB , What I'm looking for is the standard sub version that as the plate form further down on top of the railling !, Like this pic .

"Helicopters of the Third Reich", by Steve Coates, p. 97, has 2 photos of the FA330 trials on board U 523. The takeoff and landing "platform" is a very flimsy rectangular frame perched on the railing of the AA platform.
