<HTML>Hi Ying,
According to page 62 of the book \'U-Boat Commanders and Crews\' by Jak P. Mallmann Showell, Helmuth Franke was sentenced to 15 months imprisonment and reduced to the lowest rank for attempted homosexual activities with some of his men. He was killed in action on May 28th 1944 while serving with a training division.
Hope this has been of help.
All the best,
