Orig. op. order - Where to find?

Rosencrantz · 01-16-06, 05:07 PM

I have been looking for an operation order given to a U-boat. I have tried uboatwaffe, U-boat Archive, uboat.net, etc. Everything I could imagine. (Even google). No luck. Any info availible? USN op. orders would be fine too. And yes, I know I asked this just a few months ago...

Hmm - have you tried looking under Enigma? After all a lot of their work was translating u-boat orders and reports...

You mean photographs of actual BdU documentations?

Hmm, I'm not sure where that can be found. Maybe some sort of archive?

Thanks, all of you, especially CV707!

I'm not looking for a faximile, nor microfilms. Just interested in how was an operation order "build up".

Got a hint, have to check BdU KTB 30326. Enigma is the second keyword, but it's leading to the archives.
