I've just come upon a U-boat trackable that seems to be linked to U-boat 69 (I now believe there are a series of coins/trackables linked to this particular boat) which sunk 16 (allied) ships before being sunk in 1943 by HMS Fame. Apparently the U-boat suffered no losses in it's career until losing all (46) hands in 1943. Am I alone (or just TOO sensitive) in wondering why a geo-coin/trackable has been developed for this?
