Nice find! The crew must have entered the "How many men can you fit on top a U-Boat?" contest.

I've searched and searched and haven't found anywhere my U-751:o
Please, anybody, help:roll:

This is about all the information I can find for you but sadly no photo's:

I know:cry:
The first "stealthy" u-boot in history:lol:

I couldn't find a pic of my U-95 but I do know that sadly she was one of the many U-boats wasted in service in the Mediterranean. She was sunk in 41 by a dutch submarine of all things...:o

yea,same here couldnt find any pics either. About the fate of the sub... surprising isnt it, and even more.. alot of crew survived surprisingly

U-77 made it to the end off the war. Now I have started a new career and the first boat is a VII b in the 2´nd flotilla, U-35. And theres a whole site dedicated to this boat at http://www.u-35.com/english.htm with lots off pics off the boat and its crew. Turns out she was a VII a with a story. At dawn on 29 November 1939, U 35 was cruising on the surface east of the Shetland Islands, 60.53N X 02.47E in the North Sea. The British Destroyer HMS ICARUS (Lt Cdr C D Maud) saw U 35 and turned to attack. U 35's sighting of HMS ICARUS was nearly simultaneous. U 35 crash-dived and went deep - to 229 feet - and steered evasive courses. As the Asdic on HMS ICARUS was not functioning, depth charges set for 250 feet were dropped in order to feign an attack. Two other destroyers, HMS KINGSTON (Lt Cdr P Somerville) and HMS KASHMIR (Lt Cdr H A King), responded to HMS ICARUS's alert; all were under the direction of Captain Lord Louis Mountbatten aboard the HMS KELLY. Directed by HMS ICARUS to the likely spot, HMS KINGSTON was able to establish ASDIC contact and made two depth-charge attacks, which jammed the diving planes of U 35 and put her at a sharp up angle. In an attempt to bring the bow down and regain control of the boat, all available men were rushed to the forward torpedo room. U 35 was put on full speed, but in vain. The depth charges had also ruptured fuel and ballast tanks aft and no amount of weight forward could level the boat. U 35 was suddenly on the surface, and the crew was ordered to abandon ship into the terribly cold water. HMS KASHMIR fired a warning shot above U 35.
HMS KASHMIR fished several officers and twenty-seven men from the icy water. HMS KINGSTON picked up Kptlt. Werner Lott and eleven others. The entire crew of 43 survived.
