Talk:German submarine U-111 (1940)

Coordinates
The coordinates with this article seem to be wrong, compared with the reported position of loss. The Naval History website quotes 27-10N, 20-24N[sic], which I presume is 27° 10' N, 20° 24' W. Mjroots (talk) 08:14, 17 December 2011 (UTC)

The caption
This, and more appears with the photograph: [File:Bundesarchiv Bild 101II-MW-4260-37, Lorient, U-Boote U-123 und U-201 auslaufend.jpg|300px|left|thumb|U-123—an identical U-boat to U-111—entering Lorient on 8 June 1941."

I've changed the caption to:"U-123, almost identical to U-111, leaving Lorient in June 1941. U-210'' is in the background"

I think that this pic should read 'leaving' not 'entering' because a) the crew look rather spick and span for men who would not wash or shave for many days while away on patrol, b) I consulted my (German) wife about the word 'auslaufend' and c) I looked the word up in an English/German dictionary.

 * You are absolutely right about this. Thanks for fixing it. ÄDA - DÄP VA (talk) 03:57, 18 October 2012 (UTC)

I Think the explanation to the pic is wrong. It's indeed U 201 that follows U 123. U 210 never was in Lorient. Volwirt (talk) 09:46, 8 May 2014 (UTC)Volwirt
