<HTML>Hello,

one of the crew members of U662 was my uncle. It took quite a time to find out on what sub he diet. Finally if found out that it was U662 which sunk 21 July, 1943 in the South Atlantic in the Amazon Estuary, in position 03.56N, 48.46W, by depth charges from a Catalina aircraft (VP-94/P-4.) 44 dead and 3 survivors. The commander and 2 other crew members were fished out of the sea after 17 (!!) days.

I have already contacted the U-Boot Archive in Cuxhaven, but there is not much Information to find out. How can I get more details ? Who ownes some information about U662 ? What happened to the 3 survivors of U662 ?

Any help would we gratefully appreciated.

Regards Guenther
