Friend of Walter Schmietenknop, sole survivor or U-767

I know Walter Schmietenknop all my life since we are cousins and grew up together in Germany and we are visiting each other from time to time and I have just telephoned him about this site and he informed me that he had seen the site.

So If you could maybe help me find other U-Boot members who got lost during the War. I would be interested to find out about 2 of my School friends who perished and never been heard from.

Herman Kuper Also from Oldenburg

And Kar-Heinz Kappertz also Oldenburg. Any information to the friend of my would be appreciated.

Thanks You


Henry,

Thank you for your message. Walter was lucky to survive the sinking of his U-Boat, as he was the only person to live from that attack.

I was in touch with him in Canada through his son - in- law at Vancouver.

I am not sure that I can trace your U-Boat friends, but I will try, and will write to you again.

Nice to here from you.

Regards,
Mac. Gregory.
