U 69, U 514, U 270

Hello all,

I am new to this forum so I apologize in advance for what I am certain will be a silly question.

My girlfriends grandfather (Heinz Mischke) was part of U69, U514 and U270 before being captured and sent to Canada as a POW. The reason why I am asking these questions is because the first 2 boats were sunk with all hands lost.

I am wondering, why he would he have been on 3 different boats? Was this common for Ober.F.z.See to be stationed on multiple boats?

Again, I apologize for my odd question. Just looking for some answers.

Thanks!
