U-96 "DAS BOOT"
Type VIIC U-Boat
1940
The Type VIIC was the work horse of the German U-boat force, with 568 commissioned
from 1940 to 1945. Boats of this type were built throughout the war. The Type
VIIC was an effective fighting machine and was seen almost everywhere U-boats
operated, although their range was not as great as that of the larger IX types.
The VIIC came into service as the "Happy Days" at the beginning of World War II.
It was this boat that saw the final defeat by the Allied anti-submarine campaign
in late 1943 and 1944.
U-96 conducted 11 patrols, sinking 28 ships totalling
190,094 tons and damaging four others totalling 33,043 tons. On March 30, 1945
its luck ran out. U-96 was sunk by US air force bombers while in the submarine
pens in Wilhelmshaven.
During 1941, a war correspondent named Lothar-Günther
Buchheim joined U-96 for a single patrol. His orders were to photograph and describe
for propaganda purposes life on a patrol. From his experiences, he wrote a novel
which was to become an international best-seller "DAS BOOT ".
