    U-boat Kc Recipients...

    Not sure if anyone knew this, but out of 7318 KC's awarded only 144 were awarded to the U-boat service ??? Only 144,,, quite a staggering statistic concidering how many U-boat service men there were,,,(yes over 3/4 of them perished, but still, only 144 KC'S... here is a link I stumbled accross doing some research on a few "MO KAPITAN'S",,,LOL,, U-boat commanders,,, that lists the 144 that earned(not necessarily) received the KC....

    I hope this is some good information for some... there is quite some information on this site other than the above.

        Good work Van!

        I did indeed believe it to be more than 144 recipients of the RK among the U-boat crews..

          Biblio Verlag has 2 vols on U-Boat KC holders with a wealth of photos, bio data, award documents, unit info, and added data on the U-boats themselves. Great series of books.
