Many thanks to our friend and Sharkhunters Member since
1987 GEORG HÖGEL for all the conning tower emblems used in our monthly
KTB Magazine and also here on the pages of our website. GEORG
was radioman aboard U-30, the first boat into combat, the first to
sink a ship (the liner ATHENIA) and the first into an occupied
French port. When that Skipper (Lemp) took command of U-110,
GEORG was one of the former crew to transfer to the new boat under Lemp.
After the war, he was Professor of Art at a major German university.
