I received multiple messages that there seems to be a problem with the template I use and the Opera web browser. According to the info, Opera does not display the tables properly. However, there seems to be no problem with Internet Explorer and Firefox ( I tested several versions of both).

I will look into what exactly the problem is, and how to fix it.

Thanks.

I am finaly done cutting out the faces/heads of the crew members of U-990 and U-2512 and I started to sort them by appearance for easier correlation and identification in simple Word documents.

I tried facial recognition software, but that was more of a let down than real help. Which brings me to my next point:

I am looking for the name-picture combination of following officers:

Leutnant zur See Herbert Bischoff (U,481,U-990)

Oberleutnant zur See Heinz Heidt (U-990, U-2512)

Oberleutnant zur See Erich Käselau (U-237, U-990, U-922)

Leutnant zur See Joachim Lehmann (U-237, U-990)

(Fähnrich zur See) Leutnant zur See Edmund Tils (U-990)

Oberleutnant zur See Hans-Peter Feddersen (U-2512)

Oberleutnant zur See Ewald Schmidt (U-255, U-802, U-2512)

Leutnant zur See (Ing) Fritz Schröder (U-2512)

Oberleutnant zur See (Ing) Adalbert Fischer (U-779)

Oberleutnant zur See Arnold Hecht (U-779)

Oberleutnant zur See Jürgen von dem Knesebeck (U-779)

Oberleutnant zur See der Reserve Johann Stegmann (U-779)

Mugshots, or pictures of the officers of U-990 and U-2512 I could not yet identify can be seen here:

I hope somebody will be able to give me some pointers as to who is who!

Slow progress at the moment. =( Need to concentrate on my studies instead, since it gets close to semester end.

I had to turn off the comments for most, if not all sections due to excessive spamming for cheap tickets. Can we have some ED medication everyonce in awhile, just to see something different? =P

Added pictures of NORDHEIMER, HEIDT, HOFEDITZ and BRÖSKAMP. Furthermore adding information to the individual crew members as I go along.

EDIT:

I took the picture, what I thought to be Heinz Heidt off again. I am not certain that it is really, will need more info first, though.

Still trying to find a page layout that would work and fit with the topic. For now it will stay as it is.

I also uploaded a Resource and Reference page where I plan to list everything that might be helpfull for u-boat research and what I did use so far.

Added the crew list for U-779. Unfortunately, the information about who sailed on it is not very detailed.

Added the crew list for U-990. I will add information for each entry as soon as I can, if there is anything available that is.

Finally, after ages of fiddling around I managed to switch ISP/Domain Packages and bring the blog online.

What is the purpose of this, you might ask? As one can see from the blog title, it will be about U-779, U-990 and U-2512. And no, I do not mean the cell phones or other electronic gimmicks that might bear the same name. We will talk specifically about three (I might add more at some point) German uboats that sailed, fought, got sunk or were surrendered during World War II.

I certainly hope that visitors will participate and help finding out more about these u-boats or at least leave a comment or some kind of critic or feedback.

Anyways, I hope you enjoy your stay
