In what year was the man under whose command the 1st U-boat Flotilla was founded born?
1st U-boat Flotilla The 1st U-boat flotilla (German "1. Unterseebootsflottille") also known as the Weddigen flotilla, was the first operational U-boat unit in Nazi Germany's "Kriegsmarine" (navy). Founded on 27 September 1935 under the command of "Fregattenkapitän" Karl Dönitz, it was named in honor of "Kapitänleutnant" Otto Weddigen. Weddigen, a U-boat commander during World War I, died on 18 March 1915 after his submarine "U-29" was rammed by the British battleship HMS "Dreadnought" in the North Sea.
Heinz Brandt Generalmajor Heinz Brandt (11 March 1907 – 21 July 1944) was a German officer during World War II who served as an aide to General Adolf Heusinger, the head of the operations unit of the General Staff. He may have inadvertently saved Adolf Hitler's life, at the cost of his own, by moving the 20 July plot bomb planted by Claus von Stauffenberg.
