List of World War II torpedoes of Germany

Modifications:; FAT : "Federapparat" or "Flächenabsuchender Torpedo" ("spring device" or "area searching torpedo"), a mechanical device changes the torpedo's course over time so that it runs up- and down on parallel lines of 800 or 1600 m length

; LUT : "Lagenunabhänger Torpedo" ("bearing independent torpedo"), changes the torpedo's course to a preset heading directly after launch, so the launching platform (only submarines) can fire such torpedoes at targets without changing its own course.
