Gordon Williamson Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 Possibly a STURMGESCHUTZ'visit on boardAbsolutely correct my friend. An "exchange visit" was arranged between the crew of U-373 and an Atmy Sturmgeschutz unit. First the U-Boat men were allowed to visit the army and go aboard the StuG. Here is a U-Boat crewman manning the machine gun on a StuG. Note the flotilla badge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Williamson Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 Then the StuG crewmen were invited on board the U-Boat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
