Very cool report. Indeed, the whole website with the technical reports and interviews is amazing. The whole attitude of the crew is interesting, the fact it's only November of '41 and most think the war isn't going well for Germany and that a lot of them lack a lot of experience aboard a U-boat.

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.
