Chris,
One detail I have disagree with. Gerth and Seuffer may very well have known each other. It was not though because "Seuffer would have been well known to Gerth as ‘Rudi’ for they both received command of their UC boats in the Flanders Flotilla in December 1916." Seuffler's UC 50 was originally assigned to the High Sea Fleet's I Flotilla and wasn't reassigned to Flanders until July 1917, a couple of weeks before Gerth took UC 61 out on her final patrol.
Best wishes,
Michael
