Talk:German submarine U-852

Recent Development

I think the Recent Development section should be removed. The radiation sickness reported in Somalia was not from U-Boat wreckage, but from hazmat dumped in the 1990s. See the following article: http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,18690-1509979,00.html. . —This unsigned comment was added by 68.216.61.194 (talk) • (contribs) 1 August 2006.

Comment

I’ve edited these pages ( Heinz-Wilhelm Eck, U-852, SS Peleus), as they can’t stay as they are.

Eck and U-852 are largely identical; as it is, they’ll be merged, or one will be deleted.

The U-852 page should be about the boat, and the Eck page about the man, so I’ve trimmed the boat page.

And there’s nothing at all on Peleus, so I’ve created that, and used a different source for perspective.

I've moved this:-
"The USSR submarine SC-215 sank with torpedeo and gunfire the Mefkure with Jewish refugees [1]."
...to here, as I'm not sure what to do with it. It doesn't fit in this article, but it may have some value somewhere. Xyl 54 (talk) 12:26, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

Dates

"A few weeks later, on the 30 April 1943, U-852 was in the Indian Ocean" and then "58 of Eck's crew made it to shore and on 13 March they were captured".... I assume the dates are incorrect, or would this be March of the NEXT yr? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 131.146.128.22 (talk) 10:09, 19 October 2008 (UTC)
