U-boat Commanders interned in Sweden
Posted by: TQM ()

My question arises from a drunken conversation I had over 20-years ago on a SE Asian beach. I got drunk with a German who claimed his Father was a U-boat captain interned in Sweden after the War.

It is just a curiosity arising from a recollection of that drunken conversation so long ago, but I want to cure my curiosity!

I have found one U-boat commander interned by Sweden at the end of the War, Hugo Deiring of U3503, but his family background does not match the description given by the son, who said he had an 'aristocratic family' (but that he was the rebel).

So, was I being fooled by this backpacker acquaintance on a tropical beach all those years ago, or did any other u-boat commanders get interned in Sweden?

Thanks in advance for any assistance in helping me solve this puzzle,

TQM
