Research in the archive
Researching in the archive is possible for researchers, relatives of U-boat-men and members of the FTU from Monday to Friday also from March to December. It is necessary in every case to make an appointment with the Archive. There is a nominal daily research fee as well as fees for reproducing documents and photographs.

Inquiries

Please only contact the archive if you have serious questions and are willing to donate the agreed amount to the archive.
