Hans Stuhldreher and crew killed by escorts

Blue_Ninja63 · 03-13-08, 10:07 AM

On January 12,1940 Hans Stuhldreher and U-47 engaged convoy OB36 for 1 1/2 hours successfully sinking 25K+ tons of shipping. She was eventually discovered by the escorts and took a lucky hit from a depth charge that caused her to go to 224 meters depth before the crew, working against heavy flooding and damage, could recover. U-47 was eventually cornered by escorts and sunk do to unrecoverable damage.

Gerhard Pahling and the crew of U-69 a type IXb U-boat are now at sea and heading to their assigned sector BD99. They have currently sunk 13K+ tons of shipping NE and N of Scotland, including a Tribal class destroyer. (Yes, I know U-69 was historically a Type VII boat, I wanted the number before anyone else in Seedrache U-Flotillen took it

Anton Werner and U-75 started his 4th patrol yesterday and now takes over as Seedrache's tonnage leader with the demise of Hans.

Yet another loss to the balster Royal Navy

U-46 will give 'em hell!

Thanks for the picture!

U-69 has been one of my favourite boats

Another one bites the dust.

Do try to be more careful in the future. At least in our universe we can have one.

Too bad. The losses in the last few days have been heavy.
