Hi there Gang, I chanced on a very interesting site posting quite a lot of U-boat commanders WWII original color pictures; this might just well be a good addition for some of the U-boat commanders pages... Here is the site: And here are some of the commanders depicted: Korvettenkapitän Heinrich Bleichrodt Fregattenkapitän Reinhard Suhren Kapitän Zur See Wolfgang Lüth

Yes Scott, They both have the Turmumbau IV, with extended "Wintergarten" platforms with a 37 cm Flak on the lower platform and two twin 220 mm on the upper platform. If I'm not mistaken, this configuration became standard from June 1943 onwards. Cheers Marc

You're most Welcoime Ken! E-bay does have quite a few U-Boot photos to offer. I even chanced on a U-108 photo album earlier this year. From now on, I will post every find I chance on. More often then none, it's pretty much the last chance to see those vanishing testimonies... Cheers Marc

Hi Rainer, Thanks for your positive identification! I see you expanded all your wizard capacities on our subject. Cheers and hooray! Mummies are quiet, torques fascinating and museum life swallows the better part of one's life. This si cetain to get you on Schleichfahrt for a real long time. And you, still truckin' around?

Thanks for your input, Thomen. After having checked ubootwaffe.net and this great site, Guenther Loof or Ludwig Mathes could be contenders if we stick to the U-9 hypothesis. Werner von schmidt can be discarded as the published picture on the following uboat.net does exclude any resemblance Cheers Marc
