Re: Italian officers on U-boats

Hello,

I have one more question, though not about Italian but German officers serving onboard Romanian subs.

While reading interrogation report from crewmembers of U-490 [ [www.uboatarchive.net] ] I have found something like that:
"A prisoner from U-490 had served for some time as cook on the Rumanian submarine, DELFINUL. This boat was commanded by the German officer, Eckhardt and there were about ten Germans among the crew. (O.N.I. Note: This was Kapitänleutnant Hermann Eckhardt of the 1936 Term.) The prisoner joined her in Galati in April 1942. At that time she was undergoing repairs of damage which had been inflicted by sabotage. The prisoner knew of two other Rumanian submarines, STEFANESCU and ROMANIESTI. These boats were employed largely as escort vessels to convoys to and from the Crimea. They proceeded on the surface and very rarely submerged."
Can anyone confirm this in any way?!
Thank in advance.

Regards,
Andrzej
