Just randomly curious...
Has anyone taken command of U-409 or U-767?

If so they hold a "special" intrest to me..

My farther served on HMS Inconstant and HMS Wilton as a Sonar/Asdic operator and both these Destroyers were credited with the sinking of these U-Boats.

He had the unfortunate pleasure of the Arctic run to Murmansk and Archangel later in the war.
Heard some amazing stories from him and his veteran friends. Especially one of them whos ship was hit by a torp throwing him into the icy Russian waters.

Its because of him I am into U-boats and sub sims. He used to Hijack my Amiga 500 and 1200 just for Silent Service II. I sware that Christmas present was a stealth buy for him.

So if you are in either of these boats dont have hard feeling towards the Royal Navy Destroyer that gets you

Will add a pic of him later..
