[edit] Comment

I’ve edited these pages ( Heinz-Wilhelm Eck, U-852, SS Peleus), as they can’t stay as they are.

Eck and U-852 are largely identical; as it is, they’ll be merged, or one will be deleted.

The U-852 page should be about the boat, and the Eck page about the man, so I’ve trimmed the boat page.

And there’s nothing at all on Peleus, so I’ve created that, and used a different source for perspective.

[edit] Sources

I’ve removed the reference to Tony Bridgland’s book as a source; including it here suggests the content of this article is derived from his book, or that it endorses the viewpoint here, which is definitely not the case. Xyl 54 (talk) 10:13, 6 June 2008 (UTC)


I’ve also moved this one:
"Sharpe, Peter, U-Boat Fact File, Midland Publishing, Great Britain: 1998. ISBN 1-85780-072-9".
for the same reason; I’d be surprised if Sharpe corroborated this viewpoint, but I’m unable to check it. Can anyone with access to a copy say one way or the other? Xyl 54 (talk) 10:17, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
