Re: German Ltn Wilhelm Meyer U-boat Commander of UB77- POW letter from Boyardville

Meyer is a very common German last name. There most certainly were multiple officers named Wilhelm Meyer during World War I, including at least five in the Kaiserliche Marine. (There would likely have been even more in the German army.)

The Wilhelm Meyer that you have a card from isn't the U-boat commander. (The U-boat commander wasn't captured and had the wrong rank in any case.) The card likely is from an army officer.
