I have a few U-boat soldbuchs in my collection and I noticed that some of the men

were issued with something called a Ubootpackchen which translates as a U-boat

small package.Does anybody Know what this was?

I called the old man. He was serving very late in the war. Was on U-27 and U-96 after it had been made a training boat. He does not remember what this was, but did say that when they went out on combat mission they would take some of there personal belongings and seal them in a Zee-sach that would be left in the base of departure.

Guess we need to look into this further.
