World War II section[edit]

World War II section: 'During the war Schuhart sank twelve ships on nine patrols, for a total of 67,277 tons of Allied merchant shipping.' The only U-boat Schuhart commanded during the war was U-29. According to this, https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/U_29_(Kriegsmarine) U-29 only made 7 combat patrols. From the same section: 'After the German capitulation he commanded a marine battalion until August 1945.' According to https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Otto_Schuhart, he commanded 'Marine-Schützenbataillons Schuhart'. To avoid confusion with the specially-trained units known as Marines in US, UK and commonwealth forces, it would be better to translate Marine-Schützenbataillon as 'naval infantry battalion'.
