On
21 January 1915 Lieutenant-Commander Bruno Hoppe had an unpleasant
experience off the coast of the Netherlands when he sighted another
U-boat in the fog - and fired a torpedo at it. The U-boat sank with all
hands. It was later discovered to be the German U-boat U7. This was the
first and last time a German U-boat sank one of its sister ships.
Another sad irony of this accident was that the commander of U7, Georg König,
was Hoppe's best friend. It was after this tragic incident that Hoppe
was transferred to the Baltic Sea.
