German U-Boat Ace Peter Cremer: The Patrols of U-333 in World War II
English
By (author): Luc Braeuer
The amazing story of legendary WWII U-boat commander, and Knight's Cross recipient, Peter Cremer.
Peter Cremer was appointed commander of U-333, a type VIIC submarine with a close-knit crew. During his first North Atlantic patrol U-333 sank three ships; unfortunately, the third victim was actually a German blockade-runner. Cremer was acquitted before a court martial.
During his second patrol, the U-333 was rammed by an Allied tanker before reaching American shores. His later patrols were equally amazing. In April 1945, Cremer was ordered to take command of a panzer unit, Marine-Panzer-Vernichtungsbataillon, that was credited with destroying twenty-four tanks. Cremer ended the war as head of Grossadmiral Dönitzs security battalion.
