Kapitänleutnant Egon Schultz and U-53 surrendered to the Allies on 30JAN40. Egon Schultz was sent to a POW camp in Scotland where he spent the rest of the war. Egon Schultz died on 26 December 1997
Extract of interrogation of Schultz: All of a sudden there was this Flower corvette within touchable distance, out of nowhere. The watch crew must have been asleep. I should never had taken the Canal to save time.
