War time U boat tonnage scores.
We all now of the post war tonnage scores of the top U boat aces, that have been historically matched to the actual ships that they sunk. I was curious if anyone has a list or knows where I can find the original tonnage scores that were claimed during the war. Thank you.

Re: War time U boat tonnage scores.
I finally found a good source for the U Boat wartime tonnage scores. "Die Ritterkreuztrager der Kriegsmarine" by Clemens Range. Under each U boat Knight's Cross recipient it lists the total ships and tonnage sunk that they were credited during the war. I intend to make a list of those who had more than 100,000 tons credited during the war and compare them with their postwar scores. Thanks.
