You have to contact that chap directly! He has not posted them on U-Boat.com

Then I update the page for my father on the family tree web site and buggered that up as well. One of those days!
Glad I was looking at it before you buggered it up

Thought you might like to post it for the forum members.

"You were given the choice between war and dishonor.
You chose dishonor and you will have war."

(Winston Churchill made this prophetic pronouncement in a House of Commons speech in 1938, just after Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain signed the Munich agreement with Hitler. Chamberlain returned from Germany with the signed agreement in hand, proclaiming that "peace in our time" had been achieved. Churchill attacked Chamberlain's "politics of appeasement" in this and many other speeches.)
