Note the report at bottom right: "U-Boat Pack Destroyed By Tars; Nazi Commander Taken Prisoner" |
(U-99 [Kapitänleutnant Otto Kretschmer] was attacked and sunk by HMS Walker on Mar. 17, 1941. Kretschmer and thirty-nine of his crew were rescued, only two men were lost. Kretschmer was the top scoring U-boat commander of World War II, sinking 46 ships for over 270,000 tons. Which makes him the second highest scoring submarine commander in history. Kapitänleutnant (later Vizeadmiral) Lothar von Arnauld de la Perière sank 195 ships for an astonishing 455,000 tons during the Great War. Kretschmer may have caught him by tonnage had he had been at sea longer. He did all his damage in only a year and a half from Oct. 1939 to Mar. 1941.) |
