Very Good web site on the U-Boats. I'm impressed. Not many out here but this (uboat.net) is the finest. Your research is uncanny and second to none. A commendable site to the U-boat crews.

I wish to forward my congratulations on your amazing web site. Having served on Oberon class submarines in the Royal Australian Navy (First Australian Submarine Squadron, 1980-1984, 1985-1989), I am very impressed with the ease of which I can gain information on U Boat history from your site. You and your crew are to be commended on the structure, layout and information made available not only to people that have served in submarines but also to people that have an interest in the life of submariners and submarines throughout the world. I visit your site at every available opportunity and hope that you will keep up the excellent work.

"Gudmundur Helgason's U-boat Web pages are more than jolly good, they are excellent. He does not fall into the common trap of reproducing information which is definitely known to be wrong.

Much of the information is interesting and accurate. What is more, there is a lot of information which one is NOT likely to find in books. In fact some of his information is quite unique and I do NOT know where else one could find it. (Unless, of course, one goes back to original sources or to the U-boat Archive.)

Obviously any collection of information of such vast magnitude is going to attract mistakes, but the interesting point about Gudmundur Helgason's pages is that he has taken the trouble to check much of the information. The usual fairy tales which have been made up after the war and perpetuated by a number of disgusting authors and groups are missing from Gudmundur's pages.

The information is refreshingly good, interesting, useful and goes to considerable depths. I have enjoyed browsing the pages and recommend them to anyone."

Congratulations on a beautifully done site; it not only looks great but the contents live up to the appearance. A one-stop shopping center!

I have just recently found your Web Page and I am extremely happy to use your web site as a reference page. I am a retired Senior Chief Submarine sailor from the U.S. Navy. Currently I am the editor for our United States Submarine Veterans News Letter in Minnesota call the Deep Dive News. I have and will continue to use some of your data in our news letter.
