HNoMS Montbretia (K 208)" on 18.11.1942, where my grandmother's oldest brother, Quartermaster "
Einar Meier Larsen", was killed together with 46 other crew members. (
ONS-144)
A spanish member from this forum, told me some few years ago, that "
Montbretia" lies at a depth of nearly 4000 meters.
My grandmother's brother, was off-duty and asleep when their boat was torpedoed.
A very sad story that my grandmother (died in 2008 as a 93 year old) never liked to talk about, and she always started crying.
My avatar also shows
Heinz Franke.
The photos of
U-262 are very interesting, and I will defenately save them !!
A million thanks, U796 !
