Hi Schalke,
Bauer was quite an accomplished U-boat commander and certainly hasn’t gotten the recognition he earned. I have been researching him and U-126 for several years now.
On March 7, 1942 my dad was Third Engineer on the SS Cardonia when she was shelled, torpedoed and sunk by U-126 (Bauer). Dad survived but has since passed away. I am documenting his wartime experiences for my family history and sharing them with the survivors & families of those that served on all of the ships attacked by U-126 as well as the families of those that served on U-126.
Finding decent photos of U-126 has proved quite frustrating.
Regards,
Ken Dunn
