As I understand, after the boats captain, there were the 1st, 2nd and on occasion senior offices gaining sea training experience, with lower ranked officers as watch officers followed by senior non commissioned officers to take on roll of the watch duties when the boat was surfaced. Re-guarding U124 on her 10th patrol she had Kplt H-W Eck as commander undergoing sea training with no named 1st or 2nd watch officers. There was however a LtzS Bock, first name not known, who having progressed through the ranks while serving aboard U125 over five patrols was apparently as an Executive Officer transferred to U124 under KKpt J. Mohr, how did the his position fit in with watch and other inboard duties on U124? Also were other Executive officers serving on other U-boats during the war? John
