Well hes in Florida allong with the other oldies, hahaha. But seriously he was stationed in a camp about 30 miles west of Charlestown, SC and then he was transferred to a new POW camp like less then 5 miles for Charlestown, SC.
He did tell me how the U-boat crewmen thought that once they were captured by the US navy they would be shot. His understandings were that the U-Boats crews would rather surreander to Americans then to the British.
He did tell me that he talked to a XO of a u-boat and how the sub's captian wanted to go down with the ship and the rest of the crew. But the crew and the other officers took over control of the u-boat and handcuffed the captain, o how did he say it. hmmm it sounded like this , their u-boat was taking on water like a good irishman takes on whiskey.thats good ole'family rascism (family guy)
