Can anyone confirm if Wicke in U-1231 was to operate off the American Coast? He left Norway on April 27th 1945 and surrendered at Loch Eriboll May 17th.

Wanted to start a conversation about what happened to U-867 Arved von Muhlendahl's boat. Do you guys fell that the boat was sabotaged? Why, I ask because how the boat became a sitting duck from its total failure.

So this object is short 37.1 m if it was a VIIC it would have to be broken in two pieces. It is probably something else.

I made a post as well. It could be Heinrich Brodda's U-209 or Mark's U-376 both went missing and are closest to the area.

I am at a loss on the fate of this boat U-865 Oblt. Dietrich Stellmacher, On Clay Blair's book, "Hitler's U-boat War vol.2" page 645 Has a very detailed sinking of this boat by a B-24 bomber from squadron 206 which aircrew reported about 20 men in the water. If this was not U-865 which boat was it? If it was later withdrawn by the Admiralty then was this a bogus report? Just t

I was wondering if you guys could help was this uncommon to have a supplementary commander on a U-boat? I see case in point Oblt. Karl-Heinz Steinmetz was used as one on U-714(Cdr Schwebcke) This Steinmetz had passed his U-cdr's course and torpedo course and at one time was acting commander on U993 for two months. This seemed so unpractical to me since they were throwing these young guys int

I am curious to know and have seen so many U-boats fates getting changed. How accurate are they? Why, I am asking is for years certain ships or planes were credited with sinking these U-boats and it seems for example Dr. Niestle has had many reversed and some even listed as missing. What makes his research accurate and previous research wrong? Just curious as to what he did that no ones else has

I am doing research on U866 Peter Rogowsky's boat coordinates 43.18N 61.08W is not NE of Boston that location is off Nova Scotia, Canada near Sable Island. I am just trying to be precise of its location they could have said NE of Rhode Island its no where near Boston. Trying to find out how deep is the U-boat located in reports it stated Rogowsky was bottomed out in this location? Thanks
