The Belgian Merchant Navy at War · 1830–today

U-boats

69 submarines sank the Belgian merchant ships in this database. The attributions come from reference works on the U-boat war; the crew lists themselves rarely name the attacker.

U-47 (Günther Prien), U-48 and U-96 each accounted for two Belgian ships. The Alex van Opstal struck a mine U-26 had laid five days earlier – not a torpedo.
