Re: The Monsun U-Boats – WW2 German Submarines In Asia
to @Simon Gunson ,
From what you mentioned "The author was Royal Australian Navy and given privileged access to RAN wartime intelligence files to compile the book (raising questions what he filtered out?) I have not got my copy handy but I am pretty certain from memory that it was U 183 and possibly that it had returned to Djakarta from Japan before voyaging towards Leyte Gulf with a team from Unit 731 aboard. They were ordered to deploy biological warfare weapons to disrupt the US landings. What biological weapons precisely I am unsure of."
This does sound pretty interesting and Ive made a print out and added it next to the book. If only we have full unrestricted access ...
to @Mark Harrison,
Thank you for the links and message !! Appreciate it
to @Ken Dunn,
Great !! I was unaware of this book though i know of this author who was in close contact with the Uboot Archive in Cuxhaven.
Will definitely buy it. Thank you for the heads up !!
Yours,
Ibrahim

If you are still looking I found the number of the German Submarine U 183 was enroute to the Phillipine Sea to attack U.S.(Allied) shipping when sunk by USS Besugo in the Java Sea. Source is Polmar's Submarines of the Imperial Japanese Navy. There is a chapter on Germans and Italians operating out of Penang.

Good morning Simon,
My apologies for this delay. As you probably know from my personal fb , I've been traveling back home to Bali & surfing but now back in Singapore for work.
No, this picture wasn't included in the email & I'll put it up on my website soon.
Thank you Simon,
Yours,

Good morning everyone,
Just a quick update on my website - The Monsun U-Boats – WW2 German Submarines In Asia , here are something new that I have added –

• I’ve also uploaded a documentary video that chronicles the life of Indian freedom fighter Subhas Chandra Bose and especially his journey in uboat U 180 , that sailed from Kiel , Germany on 9 February 1943 ,all the way to the Indian Ocean to meet up with a Japanese submarine that continued his journey to the East.
Yours,

Re: The Monsun U-Boats – WW2 German Submarines In Asia
The account of U 188's cruise from Lorient to Penang and Singapore and then back to Bordeaux is detailed from the perspective of crew member Anton Staller in the book "Das Boot 188 - der Bericht des Matrosen Anton Staller" by Klaus Willmann.
The U-boat's log was captured by French resistance fighters in 1944 and handed to the British, the book contains a map of the cruise annotated in English.
