T., & Forstner, G.-G. F. von. (1935). Begegnungen mit Seeungeheuern. Leipzig: Grethlein & Co.<br /><br />At WW1 Von Forstner began to write books. Most of them about german U-Boats (naturally during the war written somewhat glossing over for the public; if you want you can read one in english at http://www.archive.org/details/journalofsubmari00forsuoft). After the War he continued writing and after Nessie raised her head in Loch Ness in 1933 he tolds his own sighting to press. He then writes the above mentioned book (engl.: "Encounters with Sea-monsters") for which he uses mainly authorized translations of Rupert T. Gould's books "The Case for The Sea-Serpent" and "The Loch Ness Monster").Marozihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04944694045281733586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16505569.post-80212712208774755862009-12-30T19:21:00.156+00:002009-12-30T19:21:00.156+00:00Yes, Marozi is the one at my group where we had be...Yes, Marozi is the one at my group where we had been discussing this account just prior to your posting. I mentioned there that the submarine's number in Heuvelmans was U 108 after I had checked again and he replied with the same information as he posted here.<br /><br />Marozi has been most helpful on this matter up to this point and I trust his information.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16505569.post-75472379624602120312009-12-30T14:09:15.563+00:002009-12-30T14:09:15.563+00:00I'am not sure if my first comment got through ...I'am not sure if my first comment got through because of troubles with my account. Nevertheless I've added some more information in this one so please when delete my first comment... I appologize for the inconvinience.<br /><br />Georg-Günther von Forstner (who sighted as Kapitänleutnant of the SM U 28 his own Seamonster) wrotes in his book "Begegnungen mit Seeungeheuern" that after he published his own sighting in 1933 Werner Löwisch wrote him a letter. In this letter Löwisch describes his sighting and states that he was the "I. Wachoffizier" of SM U 108. This U-Boat surrendered to France and became the french submarine Léon Mignot until 24 July 1935. For more please see Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SM_U-108) or Uboat.net (http://uboat.net/wwi/boats/index.html?boat=108). If you take a look at the Bibliography (page 618) you see that there he has written the correct number of the U-Boat.<br /><br />The sighting has taken place at 60 ° 20' Nordbreite (North-Latitude?) on the degree of longitude of Muggle Flugga.Marozihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04944694045281733586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16505569.post-16504294494889687462009-12-30T14:00:56.304+00:002009-12-30T14:00:56.304+00:00Georg-Günther von Forstner (who sighted as Kapitän...Georg-Günther von Forstner (who sighted as Kapitänleutnant of the SM U 28 his own Seamonster) wrotes in his book "Begegnungen mit Seeungeheuern" that after he published his own sighting in 1933 Werner Löwisch wrote him a letter.

I have seen other accounts listing it as U20. Not having access to the records, I cannot say which submarine the Captain actually was in command of.<br /><br />We have been discussing the matter separately in my Cryptozoology group this week, BTW.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
