The German Navy started this war better equipped in one respect than

The result was that in tíventy-seven months the sub- marine school passed as "trained" 27 commanding of ficers, 55 watch-keepers, and 58 engineers every three months, thus providing the officer-personnel for the com- missioning of nine new boats a month. That was the rate at which the building yards were delivering new boats in 1916, but in the next two
was, the Kaiser's Navy. It had a fully or- ganised submarine in- struction school prepared for rapid expansion. The German Admiralty had learned by the bitter ex- perience of 1917 and 1918. how heavy the casualties in submarine war could be, and how essential it was to build up a big re- serve of trained or partly trained personnel ready years the output fell off, and to commission new boats

Nearly a third of the men entered for U-boat service in the last war were casualties. The ac- tual figures, according to Admiral Michelsen, who was Senior Officer of Sub- marines, were-

OUT OF THE LINE.
This Intensive effort in training had its effect on the number of bonta
on active service. Admiral Michelsen records that in 1918 there were no fewer than fifty bonts attached to the submarine school for instructional pur- poses. Twenty of these were newly delivered and may have been running trials as well as serving the school, but that still leaves thirty boats with- drawn from the fighting.
All these facts are worth bearing in mind when we are considering the present posi- tion in the Battle of the At- lantic. We sometimes forget, in face of our own difficulties,
The total number of men "lost" to the service was, --however, larger, since there--that-the-enemy,—too,—has-his-

SUBMARINE SCHOOL
more
As the personnel of the Submarine Division in August, 1914, amounted to no than 1,400, including shore staff and instructors, it would seem that the sub- marine school's output of trained (or, more accurately, semi-trained) men in the fifty- one months of war was more than 16,000 officers and men.
This is a very remarkable feat, but in actual fact, as the German official history quite casually notes, about 20 per cent. of the crews sent afloat had received no special train- ing. They had to pick up what knowledge they could while the boat was running her trials and doing her "shake-down" cruise. This factor must have played a part in the inercase in the average sinkings of U-boats, which was 1.59 per month in- 1915 and 6.4 per month in 1918.

TRAINING OF OFFICERS
The training of the of ficers WAS far below standard that the British Navy required for the sub- marine service. No more than three months' Instruc- tion at the submarine school was given to commanding of- ficers and senior engineers, and four weeks was all the instruction given to a-watch- keeping officer-though it was apparently the rule that all submarine officers must al- ready have passed the long torpedo-course.

problems.
21
There is no doubt whatever that the losses in personnel of the German submarine ser. vice in the opening weeks of this
terrible were war shock to the Berlin Admiral- ty. At a moderate computa- tion, no fewer than 3,000 of- ficers and men were lost be- fore this war was six months. old. These were all highly trained men, those who had been secretly prepared before Hitler admitted that he was building new submarines.
They were the men who were to form the "core" of the sub- marine service as new boats came forward, who were to provide the skilled minority
part-trained among the each crew.
SINKING LOSSES
in
There can be little doubt that the long period of quie- scence in the U-boat war in the Atlantic last year-when the British losses fell as low ns 27,000 tons in a month-
enforced on the Ger.' mans by the losses of these skilled men quite as much as by shortage of new boats to replace the sinkings.
-wng
Indeed, we may fairly as-' sume, on the experience of 1917, that new deliveries in the winter and spring of 1939-40 were diverted to the submarine school ́ns training hoats in order that the num. bera of trained or semi- trained men might be res- tored as speedily as possible. Even the survivors of that Arst sea "blitz" must have been
in- needed ashore as structors.
RAEDER'S WORRY.
Say
It is 100 early to whether or not the present day U-boats' crews show signs of inexperience and of the incompetence due to un- dertaining. We should have to know much more than is at present public knowledge about the circumstances of of enemy recent sinkings craft and also of the circums- tances in which attacks on our merchant shipping" have been defeated before attempt-. ing any estimate of the quali- ly of the men now carrying the submarine commerce- destruction campaign.
on
But, basing ourselves only on the known facts about the last submarine war, we may fairly deduce that Admiral Raeder is having quite as much worry about the Nazi submarine service as his pre- decessor had, and that there is still at least one-fifth of the personnel afloat that is "pick- ing up the job" while actually
under fire.
