Hi Vince,

Jerry Mason just pointed me to a discussion and diagram of the crew lockers in the bow torpedo room of U-76 in the Interrogation of Survivors report on his site at: [www.uboatarchive.net]. It confirms that some had their own lockers and others had to share.

Most of the U-boat ratings bunked in the torpedo rooms. Also note that the lockers would have been very difficult to get to when the boat first left port as there were torpedoes stored on the deck of the torpedo rooms & most of the bunks had to be folded up until some of the torpedoes were used. Until then some had to sleep in hammocks suspended from the ceiling making the room that much more crowded.

Regards,

Ken Dunn
