Leutnant zur See Wolf D. Danckworth...sole survivor :



The First Lieutenant was Leutnant zur See Wolf Dietrich Danckworth, of the 1938 term. He was the sole survivor. He joined the navy in December, 1938 to Stralsund, where he underwent preliminary disciplinary training for five months. This was followed by four months in the sailing training ship "Albert Leo Schlageter." In June, 1939, he was promoted officer cadet and drafted to "Schlerwig-Holstein," in which he remained until August, 1939, when he went to the Naval College at Flensburg. Here he went sick and was granted extended leave. In spring, 1940, he went to the Naval College at Kiel and then returned to Flensburg to complete his unfinished course. In September, 1940, he was appointed to the ex-Norwegian torpedo-boat "Leopard" (formerly ("Balder"), whose duties were escorting U-Boats on tactical exercises in the Baltic and later convoy work in the Kattegat. In spring 1941, he was promoted Senior Midshipman and volunteered for the U-Boat arm, proceeding to the 1st U-Boat Training Division at Pillau. In June, 1941, he proceeded to Flensburg and then back to Pillau taking courses at both places. He was commissioned in Autumn, 1941, when he was appointed First Lieutenant in "U 72" a school boat commanded by Kapitänleutnant Meer, with whom he remained until the commissioning of "U 224."
Danckworth was due to be given his own command after this patrol, but had asked to stay on for another two patrols, as he thought he could learn so much from Kosbadt.

(Note: Wolf Danckworth is 93, alive and well, living in Germany, speaks-writes English, communicates well with his computer: 09-15-2010)

Eh dis donc, sacré boulot que celui-ci !

Tu passes ton temps libre à fouiller quelles sources liées aux U-Boote, pour collectionner une après l'autre une photo de chaque matricule comme ça ?

J'ose même pas imaginer le temps que tu passes à gratter partout pour avoir une collec' pareille !
Si un jour te prend l'envie de faire un gros fichier archive les regroupant toutes (contenant photo du U-Boote, matricule, date de lancement etc.) et de le mettre en téléchargement, n'oublie pas de me prévenir, je sauterai dessus !

Félicitations pour ta patience !
