Hi Sam,

According to the member’s area here at uboat.net all ships sunk by U-667 (total 10,000 tons) were sunk by Karl-Heinz Lange not Heinrich-Andreas Schroeteler.

In the last days of the war Heinrich Schroeteler in U-1023 damaged a British tanker of 7,345 tons and on the evening of 7 (!) May 1945 sank the Norwegian minesweeper NYMS 382 (335 tons). Three days later Schroeteler surrendered U-1023 at Weymouth. He then spent three years in British captivity.

He was awarded the Knight’s Cross 2 May, 1945 - 5 days before he sank the Norwegian minesweeper, the first and only ship he sank. The Knight's Cross must have been awarded for something other than tonnage.

Regards,

Ken Dunn
