\"U869Heinrich<\/a>Nearly twenty-six years after Bill Nagel first discovered the unknown German U-boat \u00a0I am still learning about her lost crew.

This \"death card\" (as they are known), for 'Heinrich Verh\u00fclsdonk\" has\u00a0his picture and\u00a0states he was\u00a0lost on U-869 off the coast of North Africa. Thanks to the efforts of\u00a0 our dive team, the true fate and location of U-869 is now known to be off the New Jersey coast.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Robert Pieciak went to my web site and compared the Death Card\u00a0picture to the crews commissioning photograph and was able to clearly identify one more of the sailors of U-869 and sent me the following information so I could update the website.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Thank you Robert!\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Hi Richie, my name is Robert (I live in NYC) and I collecting militaria stuff from WW2. Last year ago I was buy from one e-stand death card from u-boot name on this card is: Heinrich Verh\u00fclsdonk when I was check it was belong to one member of crew U-869. On your website with picture of the crew U-869 it will be on \"unknown soldiers\" picture nr.23 (unititled-23).<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0I attached scan of his death card, on the top left corner picture from\u00a0 your website. Please look on his Kriegsmarine \u00a0\"Donald Duck Hat\" he\u00a0was put\u00a0exactly this same like on the small photo in the left corner.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Best regards,<\/em><\/strong>
