Re: U 35 in 1918

Damn, I have to correct myself :-)

U 35 on 10.08.1918 went out with U 47, right, but not to go back to Germany but for an ordinary patrol. She was ordered back to Germany just after doing good the defects and went out on 07.09.1918 ...

And to answer the starting question of Nom Anor:

Ernst von Voigt took over U 35 from de la Perriere, but the boat was overhauled from the end of March until early July 1918 at Fiume.

Von Voigt went out to patrol from Pola on 03.08.1918, but went ill with the flu and because of that U 35 (still in the Adriatic) cancelled the mission and reached Cattaro on 07.08.1918.

Von Voigt had to be replaced of course, the famous Heino von Heimburg took over and a few days later (10.08.1918 together with U 47) left Cattaro for patrol etc.

So, you are right, U 35 simply was too worn out and it was decided to bring the boat back to Germany.

On the way out from the Mediterranean to Kiel U 35 made just two unsuccesful attacks with torpedos, primary mission was to bring the boat back home.
