75% of all German sub crews died in the war. The highest casualty rate in all German forces. I havent heard of anything with a higher rate except oddball things like Japanese Kamikaze.

I think the WWII US submariner mortality rate was around %20.

Had one neighbor that was in training when the war ended.

And, an in-law that was accepted for training just before the end of the war, having been in one island invasion on an LST.
