Very nice pictures!
But if I may, the boat seen above is U-990 and not U-344. This particular picture was taken during the end of the training and the boat was soon to be commissioned as front boat. The white stripe on the conning tower mark it as a boat in training and under the olympic rings is the Agru-Front emblem.
A couple of boats used the Olympic Rings as emblem, since it was the emblem of the class of '36.
The Kaleu in this picture is Nordheimer (only the white hat is visible here); the first from the right is Chief Machinist Erwin Hofeditz, and the third from the right is the LI, Karl-Heinz Bröskamp.
