U-35 crew member Theodor Schütt
Theodor Schütt was born on 14 August 1916.
U-35 on New Year's
Day, 1939, in Spain
(probably El Ferrol)
during the Spanish Civil War. On the dock: Gottlob Wilhelm Fischer,
unknown, Walter
Arnaschus, Johannes Martin. On board U-35:
Theodor Schütt, unknown, Ernst
Wensorra, Peter Schwarz, Johann van der Pütten, Paul
Fichte, Helmut Parthum, Erich

On 12 October
1939, Theodor Schütt was awarded an Iron Cross
(second class) with the Chief Engineer Gerhard Stamer
for making successful repairs to U-35 on 21 September 1939 while sitting at the
bottom of the sea at 115 meters (377 feet). A British destroyer had dropped only one depth charge
(because, said the escort captain, contact was doubtful). That depth charge was so accurately placed that it knocked out one of U-35's periscopes and put the blower system out of action.
