00:12 - U-boat fates
Improved the U-boats sunk by Allied submarines (now fully dynamic) and U-boat losses by year (now showing cause of loss) pages.
17:15 - U-boat Crewlists
Added 1691 new U-boat crewmen to this project - thanks to the tireless efforts of Mr. Hubertus Weggelar and his contributors. The section now has 35.354 men listed within it.
17:40 - Updated the fate for U-364.
01:26 - Published the long-overdue (on my part) article Re-assessment of German U-boat losses in World War II - The loss of U 305, U 377 and U 641 by Dr. Axel Niestlé. Also updated fates accordingly.
01:19 - Daily positions of U-boats
Updated and improved the harbour positions (begin and end of patrols) for the entire database - adding map locations where missing and thus vastly improving this system.
17:52 - Merry Christmas
Kicked in a simple Christmas header on the site plus a slightly revamped sidebar items (red with white). Merry Christmas everyone! :)
In addition to the items shown here above we made some 1131 additions or changes in our databases during December 2004.
