U boat Aces claimed tonnage.
I was wondering if anyone had a list of the original claimed tonnage of the top U boat aces, in comparison to the post war reduction. For example: Kretschmer claimed about 313,000 tones, after the war it was reduced to between 264,000 to 274,000. If anyone has a list of the original claims I will really appreciate it. Thank you.

There is a list of U-boot aces and tonnage claimed here http://www.uboat.net/men/aces/, but I don't know wheter it is an original, or post-war one.
Hope this helps.

This is something ive missed out on - what were the criteria dor reduction - in the actual tonnage sunk, or in that specifically attributed to each commander? Am wondering cos id have thought the Lloyd's Register would have provided pretty acurate totals of tonnage sunk.....or was it the original claims matched AGAINST these totals that led to the reduction?
