German U-boat, Type VIIB, ca 1939.

U-99 was a German Type VIIB U-boat submarine that was used during WWII by the Kriegsmarine. The U-99 was launched in 1940 and was commanded by Korvettenkapitän Otto Kretschmer, and over the course of one year it sailed 8 patrols where it managed to sink 38 Allied ships, a total of 244,658 gross register tonnes (GRT), damaged five ships and took one vessel as a prize. On a patrol south-east of Iceland in 1941, the U-99 was attacked and damaged by a British destroyer, and to prevent the submarine from being boarded and captured by the British, the captain ordered it to be scuttled. One of the crew perished while trying to sink the submarine, but the rest were saved and taken as prisoners of war by the British.
