this looks already better. I could not find any information in all german documents concerning Tsingtau that there was any ship hit by the mines of the Lauding. The only one mentioned is the Lauding herself, hit by an english mine.

Sass was well the commander of UC52 from september 16,1918 until november 30,1918. I couldn't find anything about Friedrich Dönitz that shows that he commanded a submarine
