On this day in 1944, the German submarine U988 was lost with all hands in the English Channel, just west of Guernsey. Her CO, Oblt. Erich Dobberstein, was 24 years old. She was depth-charged for 4 hours by four frigates and an aircraft, a terrifying experience. These men were our enemies at the time but the war has been over for 70 years and we should at least acknowledge their courage and sacrifice!
