Hi Dougie,
Thanks for the best wishes...  How is your book doing on Amazon? I have Skizzenbuch digitally on Amazon in the Kindle Store.

Happy Birthday Don.
What kind of book is Dougie's book?

[dougie47]

Hi Don,
The book is doing fine, thanks, with perhaps an French edition coming in due course. It is good to see your book on Amazon. I am really glad you used some of my introduction in the information part on Amazon, it has made my day.
VIC20 - My book is about U 47 and Guenther Prien and can be seen here -

I have also been working on an article on Type IX modifications for the last year and hoping to have it finished in the next few weeks.

Cheers,
Dougie

Hello Mr. Tore,

Patrick Salman (Discord) believes that possibly the Norwegians changed the location of the fuel pump on the GW Diesel Engines on U-995 because they do not match the GW Diesel engine drawings (See Attachment).

The images we have in Skizzenbuch shows the fuel oil pump located forward on the Diesel Engines (Skizzenbuch photo page 71 attached).

Was the location of the fuel oil pump changed by the Germans when the duel fuel filters were installed? Do you have GW Diesel engine drawings that match the changed positions...

Regards,
Don_

Hello Website Administrator,


The last email that I got from Mr. Tore stated that he could not login to his account... 


"Hello Don, nice to hear from you, I am still going strong in my 94years I am hoping to show a movie from a demo mission landsetting of underground troops in a norwegian fjord where U 995 took part. It shows some interesting external immages as well as interiors of the boat at that time, including the engineroom. It is made by the norwegian navy only a few month after I left the boat. The movie is of course in black and white but shows some original details from the 1960ties. One drawback though, where to show it ? It last approximately 5- 10 minutes. I dont know what they have done to my mailbox it seems I have been thrown out."

Hi Don/Tore,

sorry for the belated reply. A valid option could be uploading the video on an online video platform of your choice (there are many around: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_online_video_platforms ) and share the video URL here on the AMP forum. Don't know what happened to Tore's mailbox, am sure the administrators can fix the problem. Eager to see the video soon!

Cheers,

SG

If its the same video it has been linked on here by me before.
I cant seem to link it again but a simple Google search of U995 Kaura Norwegian Navy will find a number of links to the color version.

"Yes, thank you, I've logged him back in and given him an updated link.

Hello Mr. Tore,


Do you remember or have any photos that show the device for measuring the fuel oil drained from the internal fuel oil tanks and the buckets were carried to the diesel room to measure the fuel remaining in the internal fuel oil tanks? Then the contents of the measuring device was drained into the fuel oil collection bunker/tank.

This device seems to be missing in U995.

Regards,

Hello Mr. Tore and all of my very Dear Friends,


This will be my very last Christmas Card on the AMP Website for this year of 2022 to you all. I understand that the AMP Website will be shut down when we celebrate the New Year of 2023. I am so very grateful for the opportunity to have become a friend and a colleague of Mr. Tore Berg-Nielsen and all. Together, over many years of sharing knowledge with Mr. Tore Berg-Nielsen, Maciek Florek (Deceased 2nd August 2017), Simon J. Morris, and Mark Hessburg, I was able to compile their wealth of knowledge and to create the book; "Skizzenbuch: U-Boat Type VII C Project." I started this project as a novice with a steep learning curve because I only had questions and no answers. These friends and contributors were patient with me and answered all of my sometimes dumb questions; for their support I will be forever and eternally grateful. With my bitter sweet memories of long nights working with my colleagues on the AMP Website: Thank you!


Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all, and many more years to come...

Kind Regards,
Don_

Merry Christmas to all, too bad that the forum will close 

[SG]

Amen. Merry Christmas Don and all

[VIC20]

Happy New Year to all.
For whatever reason, the forum is still online. Someone must have forgotten to pull the plug.
