U-229
The following crew list is from:
http://www.ubootwaffe.net/crews/crews.cgi?uquery=1;boatnum=229
The crew of U-229 were lost on the 22 September 1943, some 6 months after they sank the
Nailsea Court.
My father (who was 17 when his father was lost) has always maintained that had his father and
Robert Schetelig, the U Boat commander met in different circumstances,
perhaps over a pint, then they would have regaled each other with sea stories and perhaps have been
great seafaring friends. I feel sure the same could have been said for the rest of the
crews.
