Now it´s my turn to tell you about "my" U-45 type VII B. It was comissioned June 25th 1938 under Kptlt. Alexander Gelhaar. It was already sunk SW of Ireland on October 14th 1939 by depth charges of the British destroyers HMS Ivanhoe, HMS Inglefield and HMS Intrepid. No survivors, 38 dead. Despite their fast end, they managed to sink 2 ships for a total of 19,313 GRT. Unfortunately I couldn´t find a picture of U-45

Greet cha all
