I don't see any such loss on the uboat.net pages, but I was skimming quickly:

<cut>?

Ooops, I needed to slow down - U106, 23rd Oct., 1941

Quote:
An incredibly sad event befell U-106 on this date. When the replacement watch opened the tower hatch in rough seas they found out that the entire previous tower watch of 4 men had been washed overboard. [Oberleutnant zur See Werner Grüneberg, Fähnrich zur See Herbert von Bruchhausen, Oberbootsmannmaat Karl Heemann, Matrose Ewald Brühl]
There's also a LOT of busted arms mentioned!
