U-744 information/photos

#1

Post by JezC » 29 Dec 2020, 13:17

Dear Group
I find myself seeking information/photos outside of what I have so far on U-744, which for a novice imho is fairly comprehensive.
A dear friend’s father -Hermann Otto Pilz served on U-744, & was taken pow at the time of her capture. He was interrogated & is in the copy that is posted on this site. He ended up picking cotton in Mississippi, but trying to establish which of the camps he was at...(possibly Greenville)
Sadly he passed away in 1998, but revealed vey little of his time during the war.
Trying to preserve any information for my friend, and her father’s memory- Many Thanks Jez

Hi cukdul
Many thanks for your quick response.
Sadly most of the info from the supplied links I have, plus a few other pieces I managed to “winkle” out of random searches.
But if anything else comes to light- please update me.
Appreciate the assistance, & that there may not be any other info out there...? But live in hope 👍 Regards Jez
