Thanks Hugh - and thanks for taking the time to look up the men for me ! I appreciate it ! It seems Walter Warzecha was a well decorated man ! http://www.geocities.com/~orion47/WEHRMACHT/KRIEGSMARINE/Generaladmirals/WARZECHA_WALTER.html Did they scuttle her Hugh ? http://www.wrecksite.eu/wreck.aspx?14422 Annie
Hello Annie, Not to my knowledge. http://www.uboat.net/wwi/fates/listing.html?view=scuttled Regards Hugh
Not at all Annie. Submarines were still relatively crude and dangerous at this time. Almost as many were lost by all sides because of mishaps during WW1 as there were to enemy action!!
