[SRC] wartime tonnage claims for german aces - need sources
 

Since this somehow ended up as my turf, I could just as well do a modified tonnage list for U-Boat aces to go along with upcoming mods like OP Monsun or GWX 4.0.
Problem only is, I lack sources!
Clay Blair, in contrary to "Silent Victory" lists only the postwar confirmed successes as established by Rohwer et. al., same does Bodo Herzog.
I have Brennecke's "Jäger/Gejagte", but he does not have an extensive list.
Now it backfires that I always avoided books from the propaganda side of life like those of Kurowski/Alman or Jochen Brennecke. Brennecke managed to dispute Rohwer's findings well AFTER allied records of losses have been published ("maybe the british simply covered up that they lost 2 Cruisers in the med" :D).
But he has no coherent list.
Does anyone have a Uboat ace list according to what they were credited with in wartime?

Hi!

You may want to try reading through the BdU Kriegstagebücher ("War Diaries") here at Uboatarchive.net

Yeah, if I want to dedicate serveral weeks of my life to compile an OBSOLETE list, I would do that....
:rotfl:
I rather hope somebody has a book about Uboat aces with a "wrong" ace list

It's wiki but what the hey!

You can also check out these listings http://www.uboat.net/men/commanders/

Hi!

Well, if you want an authentic list of unverified claims (as opposed to verified sinkings), then going to the contemporary German source material is probably your best bet. You might find a list lying about somewhere, but you wouldn't necessarily know if it accurately reflected the wartime claims....

These lists have the corrected tonnage scores, I seek the original ones.
I suppose I really have to get "hunters of the seven seas" by Franz Kurowski!
:rotfl:
But that would mean:
Spending 10 euros for a book that I know is very bad, written by Germany's most prolific writer (1000+) books of doubtful political standing (to put it mildly), in the hope that it is as bad as I think it is!
Just for a damn list...
I think I rather ask at Uboat.net
