To be fair , after a loooong patrol mine looks like sh!t.

hehe,

The only picture I could find of the U-9 commander(s) is this one found on uboat.net

Kapitän z. See Wolfgang Lüth

Successes
46 ships sunk for a total of 225.204 GRT
1 warship sunk for a total of 552 tons
2 ships damaged for a total of 17.343 GRT

he died by friendly fire...

story:

But only a few days after the war ended, he died in an unfortunate accident. Kapitän zur See Wolfgang Lüth was shot on 13 May, 1945, by a German sentry when he failed to identify himself or give the password. The lucky shot, fired by the sentry at a target he could not even see in the darkness, struck Lüth in the head, killing him instantly.

I think thats a good reason to always having ur identity card with you
