Sketch of U - boat U - boat - 5 members . U - Boots - Flottille
5 . U - Boots - Flottille in Kiel , under the leadership of Karl - Heinz Moehle Korvettenkapitän , equip and supply the charge of the U-boats were undergoing their first war patrol . Most of the German U - boat Flotilla hanging out at this first before being transferred to another unit , hence 5 . U - Boots - Flottille become Flotilla ( small fleet ), the largest among the flotilla flotilla - other . It is a tradition for every ship that will leave 5 . U - Boots - Flottille to leave a little ' memento ' of sketches in the book showing visitors their hallmark . Shortly visitor book is filled with sketches like that and be a valuable historical heritage and unique . Visitors book 5 . U - Boots - Flottille currently stored in the U - Boot - Archiv in Cuxhaven - Altenbruch ( Germany ) .
The sketches are shown below have been selected from the best of them , both in terms of design as well as the story behind the U - boat itself. Sometimes one of the submariners who have artistic ability is so good that the sketch is created then appropriately referred to as a work of art rather than graffiti !
The last line of the caption under the picture gives three types of information : WP indicates how many times the U - boat leaving the port for patrolling war ; S is the total number of crew members who survived until the war was over ; and K is the number of the crew were killed , when his ship sunk by the enemy .

U - 118 released into the sea in a festive party dated December 6, 1941 . Less than 24 hours later came the news that the Japanese had attacked pangkatan U.S. Navy at Pearl Harbor . Four days later Hitler declared war on America . U - boat U - boat , which until then was banned from approaching close to U.S. waters , are now allowed to operate further to the west again . U - 118 while it is undergoing training in the Baltic and the crew was so excited when he heard the news of the success of the German submarines period in the Western Atlantic . But this success has begun to evaporate when Korvettenkapitän Czygan Werner led the U - 118 in its first operational cruise . Although designated as a spreader of mine , but this ship is also met by the supply of provisions to supply other U-boats were smaller in the middle of the Atlantic . When the war situation began to deteriorate over time , and most of the U - boat that was sent was not able to sink the enemy ship even a single one ! Even so , later U - 118 successfully run one of the most successful operating mines deployment in the war , by sinking four ships in the west of Gibraltar !

" Horridoh ... screams professional hunters ! " Sentence below it underlines that an ' eel ' ( torpedo ) is not an Indian arrow . Leaving Kiel dated 27 November 1941 for the purpose of the North Atlantic , the type IXC submarine joined the ' Wolfpack ' to attack the convoy HG76 gets new protection from what will be a serious U-boat threat : armed merchant ship converted to escort a ship carrying plane . Although U - 131 became the first submarine shot down a plane ( piloted by Lieutenant G. Fletcher ) , but this does not provide any benefits for the crew . Five destroyers called upon to hunt submarines of this one , and he were drowned in the 21st presence in the oceans

During his career , U - 134 did nine war patrols so listed as one of the U - boat 's longest- operating . But all that he just menengggelamkan only two or three ships , the first victim is a German freighter ' Steinbeck ' ! First commander , Korvettenkapitän Rudolf Schendel , somewhat lucky because he had moved when U - 134 sunk along with the entire crew . Schendel then assigned command of a new vessel of the type XXI electro Blohm und Voss at ( Hamburg ) dated 21 September 1944 . Ship is destroyed in an air strike while docked in shipyard manufacture. By the time the war ended , Schendel served as commander of a tank destroyer group in the mainland ! The second U - 134 commander , Hans - Günther Kapitänleutnant Brosin of Hannover , 26 years old when he died along with all his men dated August 24, 1943 in a bomb attack by the depth of a Wellington bomber from 179 Squadron , RAF , in the south of Cape Finisterre

Carl Kapitänleutnant Emmermann , one of the few legendary German submarine commander , menahkodai U - 172 for five long and winding road patrol until November 1943 when he handed over to the leadership baton hands Oberleutnant zur See Hermann Hoffmann . U - 172 left Germany's biggest base in Biscay Beach , Lorient , dated 22 November 1943 only to be drowned a few weeks later on December 13 . During his career , U - 172 attacked and sank 27 ships that made him into the ranks of one of the 3 % U - boat with the winning score at the most ! Surely there are talented artists in the crew because one more big version of the image above Neptune are also in the tower supervisor

U - 184 under the command of Günther Kapitänleutnant Dangschat is a mysterious submarine . Crew training lasted for five months and then she left Kiel dated October 22, 1942 to operate against the convoy ONS 144 off the coast of Newfoundland . U - 184 transmit radio last report dated 20 November 1942 and shortly thereafter disappeared are unknown ! So far , all of the post - war evaluation failed to provide convincing information about the cause of the sinking . U - boat Command reported as ' missing ' dated 22 November 1942 after there was no response from the location information of the submarine , and it seems all the crew are all killed 50 people . Moto U - boat on this one is " It is better to die in battle rather than rotting in the chain confinement . "
