U Boat Crew Research
Posted by: raymiles6743 ()

A former U Boat Crewman from World War II, who was a neighbor of mine for the past 10 years, died from complications of a fall on Sunday, June 17, 2012.

His name was Hans Schabatka. He was a torpedoman on a boat under the command of Captain Greeve. Hans stated that his was the U13, a small boat, not an Atlantic boat,and was based out of Norway. Hans was a farm boy from a small village near Heidelberg.

What little research I have done on U13, Captain Greeve and on Hans Schabatka, has proven fruitless.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks in advance.
