History of the 31.
U-Bootflottille
Much of this information, the data, the photos etc. comes directly from the
veterans, the veterans' organizations and is the most accurate available
anywhere..............most of this information is not even known elsewhere.
The 31.U-Bootflottille (31st U-Boat Flotilla) was initially based at Hamburg
then to Wilhelmshaven and Wesermünde. It existed from September 1943 until
April 1945.
Flotillenchefs of the 31st were:
Kapitän zur See Bruno Mahn September 1943 until April
1945
Korvettenkapitän CARL EMMERMANN (315-+-1987) for
a very short time in April 1945

Many thanks to our friend and Sharkhunters Member since
1987 GEORG HÖGEL for all the conning tower emblems used in our monthly
KTB Magazine and also here on the pages of our website. GEORG
was radioman aboard U-30, the first boat into combat, the first to
sink a ship (the liner ATHENIA) and the first into an occupied
French port. When that Skipper (Lemp) took command of U-110,
GEORG was one of the former crew to transfer to the new boat under Lemp.
After the war, he was Professor of Art at a major German university.
