Hi Ade,
Thank's mate! I am doing a lot better but can't drive around like i used to just yet.My 2 boys live seperate with my ex-wife and i can't get around to see them as much but i am home for 4 day's to email now!
I am very happy with the jacket.It cost me $650 from a dealer over here who just got it in the same day so that was lucky.It has only the story to back up U616 but the collector he got it from bought it from a member of one of the 8 ships involved with the sinking.Found it on Google if you would like to take a look

Tom, Firstly really good news to hear you are on the mend! Bit of a shock when Bob broke the news!
Secondly, a cracking Jacket! Good work. A good thing about U-boats is all the information available on-line! I collect documents etc from U-26 & U-46, It only takes a couple of hours to compile all the details!
Thanks for showing this great jacket!

Tom
616 had a very interesting career as a sub...........here's her last reported sailing activities
U-616 departed under Siegfried Koitschka from Toulon on 30th Apr 1944 and arrived at return on 17th May 1944 after two and a half weeks.
Siegfried Koitschka hit two ships on this patrol and both of them were in convoy, both of them were from convoy GUS-39.
* On 14th May 1944 he damaged the British 7,127 ton Fort Fidler, sailing with convoy GUS-39.
* On 14th May 1944 he damaged the British 10,627 ton GS Walden, a member of convoy GUS-39.
Have you got a crew name?
