history

U 3035 was commissioned from AG Weser in Bremen on November 6, 1943, like all other boats of the type XXI from U 3001 onwards. The keel was laid on November 11, 1944. The boat was launched on January 24, 1945. The commissioning took place on March 1, 1945. As a result, U 3035 was never transferred to the front. The command was taken over by First Lieutenant Ernst-August Gerke, who compared to First Lieutenant Prehn, the first commander of U 3034 , was already an experienced commander, as Gerke had already several times in the Atlantic and the North Sea with U 377 , U 382 and U 673 of the boat class type VII C had been in use. The boat is said to have remained without a coat of arms because it was no longer used at the front.

Whereabouts of the boat

As part of the division of the Wehrmacht's military equipment, the Soviet Union received some type XXI boats, for example the boats U 2529 , U 3035, U 3041 and U 3515 from Lisahally , as part of Operation Cabal , left for Libau . U 3035 was renamed N-28 on December 14, 1945 and assigned to the South Baltic Fleet on February 13, 1946, until the Soviet fleet command ordered the disarmament of ex U 3035 . It was renamed PZS-34 on January 18, 1956 and used as a disarmed rifle range boat and floating battery charging station for other submarines until it was removed from the list of Soviet warships and scrapped on March 28, 1958.

Individual evidence

  1. ↑ Lieutenant Gerke served in the new German Navy after the war and put the mine hunter Weilheim into service on January 28, 1959. This is a museum ship in the harbor basin of the German Naval Museum in Wilhelmshaven . Gerke achieved the rank of lieutenant captain in the German Navy.
  2. ^ Based on the book by Georg Högel: Emblems, Coat of Arms, Malings German U-Boats 1939–1945. 5th edition. Koehlers Verlagsgesellschaft mbH, Hamburg 2009, ISBN 978-3-7822-1002-7 , U 3035 is said not to have had a tower emblem. A photo from the book by Eberhard Rössler: U-Boottyp XXI. 8th edition. 2013, page 94, of the Type XXI submarines lying in Lisahally, which also included U 3035, shows, however, two emblems on the starboard and port side of the tower.
