Personal information
The young commander Adolf Graef did what many others could not do at that time; both survive over 160 days at sea and sink enemy shipping as well. 187 U-boats were lost during the time Graef was at sea and his boat was the last of that number. Hard times had befallen the U-boats by 1943.
