Hi
As I thought. If boat was fitted after commission I go here
Change the 523 to the boat I want and then translate using bing
I'm sure this is the method you know about. I have had good results from this but near the end of 44 and early 45 the results are "iffy"

Hello
This is the commander traing course at Memel March 15 to April 15 1943
Course leader was Kpt Lt Rollman
I have 20 names of the officers who attended the course but only 19 on the foto, I belive Otto Stoeffler stayed for another month.
I have 15 fotos of the course members including Willy Meyer but I am not good at putting names to faces!
