U Boat sunk.

Kapitänleutnant Fritz Fuhrmann
April 19,1916/Sept 06 1942

Dubbed the "Tonnage King", he was a German U Boat Kaptain and one of the most successful of his time. His unique contributions to bar room brawls along with a highly publicized personal life, made him a prominent figure in U Boat culture.
He started a solo career in 1939, having made his debut in 1938 as a member of Flotilla Weddigen.
His patrols on U-5, a Type IXB (6 patrols)remains the best of all time.
He popularized complicated surface attacks moves, such as the 'hide and seek' and the moon'dash.
He is widely credited with having transformed the U Boat arm from a promotional tool into an art form.
