Page	Mistake	Correction
55	Footnote No. 8 mentions U-boats on which gold bars substituted their iron ballast. "One such was U 54, which was sunk in the Kattegat in the last days of the war."	U-54 was certainly not sunk in the last days of the war--it was the well-known U-534 (IXC/40).
87	In Diagram Figure 2: LuT -"Ladder" Course The lenght of back-and-forth leg indicates: "800 or 1600m"	In Diagram Figure 2: Lut -"Ladder" Course The lenght of back- and-forth leg must indicate: "0 to 1600m"
110	In chapter "Experimental Weapons" we read about the commanding officer of U-551, KK Fritz Steinhoff.	This is a triple mistake; 1) In May of 1942 Fritz Steinhoff was a Kapitänleutnant 2) The commander officer of U-551 type VIIC is Kapitänleutnant Karl Schrott 3) The U-boat of this launch is U-511 type IXC.
111	re: Operation "Caesar" ..."Six bibers of K-Flot 265 were loaded on three Type VIICs (U295,U716 and U739)"...	One of the three type VIIC boats was U992.
