Personal information
After the loss of his boat just after sinking his only victim Paul Just was captured and taken to America and was interrogated rather harshly along with Kptlt. Steinhoff (U-873) who committed suicide.
The ship he sank was the American destroyer escort Frederick C Davis (DE 136). One of the survivors, LTJG P K Lundeberg, often visited Paul Just after the war.
