uboat plaque question
Posted by: michael braun ()

<HTML>I have a friend whose father served on a destroyer in the north sea during the war.
On one occasion, his ship depth charged a uboat, forcing it to surface and surrender. He was one of several men assigned to board the uboat and search her prior to sinking her. before leaving, he removed a brass plaque that was fastened to the conning tower. the plaque is roughly egg shape and size, and has the following inscribed on it; BUCH - NO
2570
H.A.
P.
A.G.
His father never remembered the number of the uboat, and I can not find a commissioned uboat on file by that number.
If anyone can help identify this plaque or the uboat it belonged to, it would be most appreciated!
Thank you,
Michael braun
