Kann jemand verifizieren, ob der WO von U 67 von der Göben oder von der Gröben hieß?

[Hubertus]

This is from U-Boat-Archive U-67.

By 15 May 1941, U-67 was in Kiel where one of the prisoners joined her.  About 10 days later she sailed into the Baltic where her new rubber coating was tested, presumably against asdic.  The prisoner was aboard until 8 June 1941 when he became ill and was hospitalized aboard the depot ship Wilhelm Bauer at Gotenhafen.  By 1 July 1941, U-67 was back in Kiel where she was rejoined by the prisoner.  The prisoner stated that by this time Bleichrodt had been replaced as captain by Günther Müller.  The Executive officer was Oberleutnant Bauer.  (O.N.I. Note:  This was probably Hermann Bauer of the 1936 naval term.)  The Second Watch Officer was Leutnant von der Gröben and the Engineer Officer was still Wiebe.

Will chande to Gröben

Cheers Herb.

Sorry mates,

his correct name was von der Groeben. He was a reserve officer.

moin,

his correct name was von der Groeben. He was a reserve officer.

und daher nicht in den Ranglisten genannt / and thus not mentioned in the Ranglisten

and the Engineer Officer was still Wiebe

There`s a minor error in the Crewlisten entry for Wiebe
In 1938, he was not LI (Chief engineer) of Brummer (artillery training ship)
The LI of a ship like that had the rank of Kptlt (Ing.), and Wiebe had just been promoted to Lt (Ing.)
LI of Brummer at that time was Kptlt (Ing.) Peter
