The Iron Cross Boat. U-9, commissioned in August 1935, was the second of three boats to bear the number. Weddigen???s Iron Cross can be seen at the side of her tower, the only distinguishing mark on any of Wolfgang L?zth???s four U-boats. U-9 was already obsolete when L?zth took command of her in 1939, but since there were so few boats available then, she remained at sea in a variety of roles until 1944. FASCINATING black and white images from a new book have helped lift the lid on the story of the German naval commander who is credited with sinking an astonishing forty-seven Allied ships and a submarine during the Second World War, Wolfgang L?zth. Photos from ???U-Boat Ace: The Story of Wolfgang L?zth??? show the commander brazenly puffing on a cigarette on the bridge of his U-43 boat. Additional snaps capture L?zth???s sinking of Swedish freighter, Sicilia, whilst another shows his funeral procession, just two days after his death. Author, Jordan Vause, discussed what it was that drew him to Luth???s story has given readers a small insight into the stories told in the book.
