Notability

Does not meet WP:SOLDIER & sig RS coverage not found link, just passing mentions. The article copy is cited to a self-published web site which is insufficient for notability.

No de.wiki article exists. Did not hold a significant command and topped out as Fregattenkapitän. Successful completion of missions is not part of SOLDIER. Please also see a note at MilHist Talk Archives for background behind the redirect. In summary, per the outcome of the discussion at Notability:People on notability of Knight's Cross recipients: permalink, certain recipients were deemed non notable and WP:SOLDIER has been modified accordingly: diff. The articles of these recipients are being redirected to alphabetical lists. K.e.coffman (talk) 20:32, 1 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I've restored the article - as the commander of the "the farthest U-boat patrol of World War Two", and "the only German submarine to operate in the Pacific Ocean during the Second World War", with two books published in English about the voyage, should be enough to establish notability.

Action in Australian waters

Paragraph 6 reads "Then, while patrolling off eastern Australia in late 1944 and early 1945, Timm sank two American Liberty ship merchantmen." Were both Liberty ships sunk off eastern Australia in the Pacific Ocean? The related Wikipedia article 'German submarine U-862 [1] describes the second Liberty ship (the Peter Silvester) was sunk in the Indian Ocean on 6 February 1945, about 820 nm south-west of Fremantle, Western Australia. As sung in Sesame Street (the children's TV programme), one of these things is not like the other! Novocastrian2303 (talk) 00:37, 29 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
