02:35 - Events on this day greatly improved
I've added two large new sections to the popular page Events on this day; U-boat departures and arrivals and U-boats at sea on this day. Both sections are fairly self-explanatory and show a vast new view on this date in question. Please remember that you can of course view any date of the year on this page.
23:02 - U-boat commander photos added
Added photos of the following 19 German U-boat commanders of WWII; Wolfgang Barten, Gustav Borchardt, Rudolf Dübler, Walther Ehrhardt, Horst Günther, Hans Hellmann, Oskar Herwartz, Richard Nachtigall, Otto Niethmann, Kurt-Heinz Nicolay Günther Pfeffer, Konstantin von Puttkamer, Joachim Seeger, Otto Stoeffler, Werner Teschand, Raimund Tiesler, Max Ulber, Herbert Waldschmidt, and Friedrich Weitz.
21:47 - U 40 from WWI has been located
The German U-boat U 40 from WWI, sunk in 1915 off Scotland, has been located. More info and links.
