Crew of 1936
Karl Schimpf was one of the Kriegsmarine's famous Olympia Crew. This Crew chose the Olympic rings as their symbol (the 1936 Olympic games were held in Berlin). It was the largest Crew, and produced more U-boat commanders than any other – of the 164 who 'graduated', 140 took command during the war.
Schimpf is not listed in the 1941 or 1942 Rangliste; he was presumably serving in the Luftwaffe at the time.
