<HTML>Hi Flemming,
Are you confusing Oblt.z.S. Paul Meyer, Kptlt Nollau and Kptlt Zschech ?
Kl Nollau was 1WO on U 505 for a time.
Kl Zschech committed suicide at sea as commander of U 505. (Busch & Röll say in the Control Room) but the control room is manned - I understood that he was in the tower - alone.
Ol Meyer as 1WO at the time took over command and brought U 505 back home safely. He was not rewarded with a command of his own, as perhaps he should have been, as the whole affair needed to be hushed up.
The commanders mentioned in this thread were not the only ones to have committed suicide.
