Indeed Erich!

....some kinda word blindness must have struck even though I tried to read the site as well as possible.

I tried to check it later last night in the books on March 1945 in Danzig, and I think there were several boats sunk in the harbor, yet not the number of German E-boats very precisely. I guess the boats were 1.sunk 2.civilian ships of all size to carry people away 3. E-boats that were counted.

So I donŽt think they actually were U-boats...
Thanx for noting Erich!

According to a book I have there came some 20 000-30 000 civilians per day and quite alot were shipped away, and as well the last shipments were almost done as the Russians finally conquered the area. But I do think that 10 000 maybe a low value of the people caught in Danzig harbor area, IŽll check the soldier number later on, but I would not be surprised if among others 10 000 soldiers were caught.

IŽll be back on this in a few daysŽ time.

Sorry about the mistake!
