UB57.. Can you help? I am trying to find information on UB57, I believe
it was commanded by Ober Lt Johannes Loks. I believed it sink the Kyarra
off the Dorset coast in 1918, and then went on to other missions.
Unfortunately it was sunk in the North Sea after hitting a German mine in
August 1918. If anyone has more information or photographs of UB57 or can
confirm it sank the Kyarra, please contact me at terence.rogers@virgin.net

Midget Submarines of
the Second World War by Paul Kemp
The history of midget submarines, submersibles and
human torpedoes is one of the most fascinating areas of naval warfare in
the Second World War. Originating with the Italian Mignatta human
torpedo of the First World War, designed to attack enemy ships lying in
defended harbours, by 1945 almost all the major combatants had made some
use of craft of this type, ranging from the British X-Craft, which
crippled the German battleship Tirpitz in a Norwegian fjord and sank the
Japanese cruiser Takao, to the Japanese Kaiten suicide weapon, the equally
desperate German submersibles the Neger and Marder, and the slightly more
successful Seebund midget submarine. This book deals with each type
of craft separately, dividing them into human torpedoes, submersibles, and
true midget submarines. The author examines the reasons why the
belligerents engaged in midget submarine construction and operations, and
details all the classes of craft that were built, also examining postwar
developments. Together with its superb plans and drawings, this book
is essential reference for all naval historians, enthusiasts and
modelmakers with an interest in one of the most daring and dangerous forms
of naval warfare.
