Indeed, awesome. Does anyone know whether there are any books or logbooks online, even if it is in german?

I've read many of the reports on that site over the years, yet I don't recall reading that one.

"Many of his petty officers thought he was too old for the job." He was 34. Yep, sounds like wartime to me.

It seems kind of amazing that the U-111 was sunk by an armed trawler. The whole event seems like a bunch of poor decisions by her Captain.

They've upped many British interrogation reports on the site now - IMHO more interesting than the US ones; the ones I have read have included spy dropping missions, document running missions, and some get very detailed.
