GOOD DAY SIR.CAN YOU HELP ME WITH THE FOLLOWING.
I HAVE 2 CLOCKS FROM U 680.THESE WERE OBTAINED BY MY FATHER IN 1945/46 WHEN HE WAS STATIONED AT LOCH RYAN.I AM 75 YEARS OLD AND HAVE NO FAMILY.
I HAVE TRIED TO CONTACT THE GERMAN EMBASSY HERE IN JOHANNESBURG WITH NO RESULTS.
I AM TRYING TO TRACE ANY MEMBER OF MAX ULBERS FAMILY.I WOULD LIKE TO GIVE THESE CLOCKS TO MEMBERS OF HIS FAMILY WHO I THINK WOULD BE PROUD TO OWN THESE RELICS.
IT SEEMS SAD THAT WHEN I DIE SO WILL THE STORY OF THESE 2 CLOCKS.
I KNOW THAT YOU WOULD NOT GIVE ME THEIR DETAILS BUT IF YOU KNOW HOW TO CONTACT SURVIVING FAMILY MEMBERS PERHAPS YOU COULD GIVE THEM MY EMAIL ADDRESS.
IF ALL ELSE FAILS MAYBE YOU COULD CONTACT A U BOAT MUSEUM WHO WOULD BE INTERESTED
IN THESE ARTIFACTS.
JUST AS A MATTER OF INTEREST I THREW THE PERISCOPE FROM THE U 680 INTO THE CANAL IN SHEFFIELD IN 1953 / 54 PERHAPS A SKILLED DIVE CREW COULD DIVE THERE AND FIND IT.
I KOW THE EXACT SOT TO WITHIN 40 SQUARE METRES
I LOOK FORWARD TO YOUR REPLY AND SUGGESTIONS.
GOD BLESS
