Personal information

Günther Müller-Stöckheim joined the Navy in April 1934. He served some time on the line ship Schlesien and was training officer in the Marineschule Mürwik (naval academy). In April 1940 he transferred to the U-boat force and, like some other later famous U-boat officers, in 1941 made two patrols as a watch officer on U-123.

In July 1941 he took command of the Type IXC U-boat U-67 and made eight patrols in the North and mid-Atlantic and in Caribbean waters.

Günter Müller Stöckheim died when U-67 was sunk on 16 July, 1943 in the Sargasso Sea by bombs from an Avenger aircraft of the US escort carrier USS Core. Only three of her crew of 51 survived.
