I will be using Hildebrand, Hans H.; Röhr, Albert; Steinmetz, Hans-Otto (1990). Die Deutschen Kriegsschiffe. Biographien - ein Spiegel der Marinegeschichte von 1815 bis zur Gegenwart. (10 Bände) (in German). Mundus Verlag. Volume 7 as a source for my review comments. The history of Z6 is covered in this book on pages 213 to 215. MisterBee1966 (talk) 09:48, 14 October 2015 (UTC)

The ship's bow was rebuilt to that length sometime before the start of the war. I've updated the Z5 and Z6 articles to reflect this.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 19:57, 15 October 2015 (UTC)
Thanks, should this also be reflected in the infobox? Why 120m and not 121m? Cheers MisterBee1966 (talk) 08:22, 16 October 2015 (UTC)
I set up the infobox to reflect their specs as built. And I have no idea why HRS says 121 when Gröner says built 119, modified 120; the drawing of the ship in the latter shows barely any discernible increase in the shape of the bow, so I doubt that it was really 121 meters.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 11:57, 16 October 2015 (UTC)
Some ships of the 1934A class had a different bow - Z5 for example, is reported with 121 m Meters in 1945 and a very different shape [1] than Z6 Riedel. So the data may just have been mixed up in those publications. I think 119 meters is a good choice for this article. Alexpl (talk) 17:39, 18 October 2015 (UTC)
