Hi Nobby,

just back from holiday, so I am somewhat late!

Your initial pic in #1 is U 1201. No snow at Danzig in March 1944. The other pic added in #2 is U 1200. Look at the conning tower and you will see the difference.

Watching UEFA women football championship as well? Three Lions girls doing pretty well so far. And no drunken hools around. I love it.

Best

Axel

24u flotille memel 16 oct 1943 au 1 dec 1943.jpg
Ebert was in Kdt-Lehrgang in the 24u flotille Memel from october 1943 to november 1943. Here's picture from ebay of officers in Memel from 16 october 1943. Could it be Ebert, back row 3th from right. Look like the same guy. What do you think ?
