This was Kapitänleutnant Rolf Mützelburg, commander of U-203.Originally posted by The_Silent_O:
- Broken neak by recreational diving off the conning tower
During a meeting in mid Atlantic Teddy Suhren warned Mützelburg about the dangers of diving off the conning tower. Tragically Suhren was later proved correct as seven weeks later, after U203 had left Brest for it's eighth war patrol, Kaptlt Rolf Mützelburg called another swimming break in the mid-Atlantic for his crew. Diving again from the conning tower, he struck the boat's saddle tank as it rolled in a gentle swelland some hours later died from his injuries.

U-505, correct. Commander was Peter Zschech. Haunted by bad luck he shot himself when he obviously couldn't take the pressure anymore.
<STRIKE>But it's only partially solved, you need one more boat number!</STRIKE>
Beaten by G_G while I was posting. The freak accident of U-203, correct.
It's a tie!
Either of you may post the next question.

Name the two brothers who were both successful U-Boat Captains?
Hint: They unfortunately lost their sister and parents during the later part of the war?
Reinhard "Teddy" Suhren (Right) and Gerd Suhren (Left).
Their father killed their mother, their sister and at last himself in 1945 when they had no chance to escape out of Sudetenland in Czechoslovakia anymore.
