    Hello,

    here are a nice picture of U 178 and his first cdr. Kapit?n zur See (!) Hans Ibbeken.

    U 178 was 1943 under the command of Korvettenkapit?n Wilhelm Dommes (knights cross)

    the first "Monsun-u-boat" at Penang!

    I collect all from and about the german monsun-u-boats, special U 178! ;)

    Regards,

    Monsun

    Yep... 199 was my post. I can't claim it was my mistake, though... captions were added before I was born. :)

    These pics are supposed to be from the Sweedish intelligence. Doesnt really matter to me if they are or not... I just like the pictures, and find some of them to be rather unique! :)

    Hello Monsun, I may be wrong but I think the man pictured is Dommes. Here's a photo of him.

    Hello gdlasalle,

    thank you for the picture. It shows the first cdr. of U 178, Kapit?n zur See Hans Ibbeken with his niece in Bordeaux.

    Here are another picture from Ibbeken together with his chief engineer (LI) Gottwald.

    Regards,

    Monsun
