[U-505 personal diary]
On 4 June 1944, a hunter-killer group of the United States Navy captured the German submarine U-505. This diary was seized from the submarine. The author of the document is most likely Oberfunkmaat (Signalman First Class) Gottfried Fischer -- the only U-505 sailor killed during the battle leading to the capture of the submarine. This identification is based upon an entry of 7 May 1944 in which the author refers to himself as the leading radio man (see diary page 10). At that time, the leading radio man aboard U-505 was Fischer
