RE: Hitler and the boats/American baiting

<HTML>\"Later in September [1940] the hulk [of U57] was raised, but she was never made operational again, serving the remainder of her life as a training ship of 22nd U-Flotilla in Gotenhafen and then 19th U-Flotilla, Pillau. Her sole remaining moment of glory was on 5 May 1941 when Hitler toured the U-boat as part of an inspection visit to Gotenhafen. This was probably only the second time that Hitler, who suffered from violent seasickness, had set foot aboard a submarine (Hitler had inspected the ‘Weddigen’ Flotilla when the unit was still embryonic, touring U7’s interior).


PS JohnV...I think you hit the nail pretty much on the head.
Cheers
Lawrence
