which u-boat captain who lost his boat but not his life in 1939 was - previously - "Platzmajor" of navbase Kiel ?

Yes, the choice is very limited :)
So, I'll start guessing - 'cause I really don't know the answer. :D

Hi
I have just found out about a LT(ING) who served on four different boats and survived the war but I am not sure that this is an unique record! If it is name him or set a new question as I am only a beginner and know nothing!

Its not u-532. After your posting i had a look at U-532, and that uboat had a similar wappen, also buildt in the same city as the one i was looking for. The other wappen is not for Oldenburg.
Perhaps another try ? I wouldnt hav eposted this one if i knew that U-532 and U-5.. had similar wappens.

Hello
It was U-592 i was looking for. But as mentioned earler it was several boats having idetical signs. My fault, i should have found something else for this quiz :-)
Perhaps oldhoweboy can provide next question ?
