Following The Signing Of The Treaty Of Versailles In 1919, Germany Was Not Permitted To Build Or Operate Submarines. However Clandestine Training Onboard Finnish And Spanish Submarines Took Place And Uboats Were Still Built To German Designs In Dutch Yards.At The Outset Of The Second World War, Dnitz Argued For A 300Strong Uboat Fleet, Since His Force Of 57 Uboats Could Only Inflict Pinpricks Against British Seaborne Trade. In August 1939, U48 Left Germany, Commanded By Vaddi Schultze, To Take Up A Waiting Position Around England.It Scored Its First Success On 5 September, When It Torpedoed The British Freighter Royal Sceptre, Then The Winkleigh On 8 September. On Both Occasions The First Of Many Schultze Showed Himself To Be A Notable Humanitarian: He Addressed Signals To Churchill Giving Positions Of The Sinkings So That Crews Could Be Saved.By 1 August 1941, U48, The Most Successful Boat Of The Second World War, Had Sunk 56 Merchant Ships Of 322,478 Gross Tons And One Corvette. She Was Then Transferred To The Baltic As A Training Boat. Schultze Became Commander Of Operation 3 Uflotilla And Later Was Appointed Commander, Ii/Naval College Schleswig.
