1997
23 July
23:45 - Added photos of U-1, U-11, U-14, U-23, U-25, U-28, U-30, U-36 and a post-surrender photo of U-805.
23:43 - Re-checked the U-boat profiles for boats U-101 to U-140 and U-291 thru U-328. Corrected some minor mishaps in the flotilla information listed there.
23:43 - Added a new page called comments from readers that lists some nice words that I've been getting lately.
23:43 - I added a photo of myself, not the latest one but this will do :)
23:42 - The long awaited Picture Gallery is in development. The first installments will be for U-534 and U-505, probably followed by U-995 and U-2540. Stay tuned, this will be good!.
22:00 - Added a picture of UA, the boat to be completed for Turkey but was instead commissioned into the German Navy.
23:45 - Added a page on Frgkpt. Ottoheinrich Junker, commander of U-33 and U-532, one of the last Monsun boats. He sank 8 ships for almost 47,000 tons.
23:46 - Updated the Anti-Aircraft page with updated information on the Turmbau VI used on U-673 and U-973. Added a photo of U-673 showing the variation. Thanks to Sandro for the tip on this one!
23:46 - Added the Knights Cross winner Kptlt (ing.) Helmut Rohweder to our files. He is our 80th member of our personnel pages.
23:46 - Updated the fates for U-377 and U-972, they were both lost to one of their own acoustic torpedoes. I also updated the torpedo page in the process.
23:47 - We're updating the U-boat profiles for U-156 - U-200 with patrol data and a complete list of their victims. This is mostly done already. As always, if the boat's name is listed in bold on the index page then we have additional information on that boat. Enjoy.
23:48 - I replaced the front page with a more informative design. This is not the final look of the page but rather a fix until the real one appears :)
23:48 - Added 7 new convoy system pages (OB, BX, BT, BD, BRN, JT and BS). We now have 17 convoy system pages listing every intercepted convoy on that route.
01:24 - Added a map of the Middle and South Atlantic ocean to the map pages. At the same time I color-corrected the other maps for use with 256-color machines. I had originally chosen an incorrect color palette when saving them the first time.
01:24 - Re-checked roughly 150 U-boat profiles (U-141 - U-290) in relations to the flotilla information listed there.
In addition to the items shown here above we made some 11 additions or changes in our databases during July 1997.
