8th U-boat Flotilla

The 8th U-boat Flotilla (German "8. Unterseebootsflottille") was formed in June 1941 in Königsberg under the command of "Kapitänleutnant" Georg-Wilhelm Schulz, who also at this time commanded the 6th U-boat Flotilla in Danzig. It was primarily a training flotilla but in the last months of the war some flotilla boats were in combat against the Soviet Navy in the Baltic Sea. The flotilla was disbanded in January 1945.
