<HTML>Hi Mike

"3. Officers from other naval branches and from the "Luftwaffe"
In the war a lot of naval officers, who served on battleships and other surface ships, attempted to join the U-boat force. Many of them became also very successful commanders and included among their ranks men like Brandi, Merten, Gysae, Hartenstein, Lange, Lehmann and Lüdden.

Also some members of the naval air force (Luftwaffe) changed to the U-boat force and some of them later became famous U-boat commanders and Knights Cross holders like Hardegen, Thomsen and Hechler."
