Another interesting one is that Captain Hugo Forster of U-501 is the only man ever to board an enemy warship (moosejaw) from a uboat, Moosejaw had run in to ram U-501 , changed its mind at the last minute and turned causing it to run parallel to U-501.
At this point Captain Forster lept onto the deck of moosejaw without getting his feet wet!
He was captured and U-501 scuttled , Forster was going to be tried by Otto Krechmer for cowardice but the British got wind of this and moved him to a seperate camp.
