Timeline

1909

Jost Metzler (26 February 1909 – 29 September 1975) was a German submarine commander during World War II.

1933

Metzler joined the Kriegsmarine in October 1933, after spending eight years in the merchant marine.

He served on the torpedo boat T-196 and on several minesweepers.

1940

He commanded the U-boats GS U-69 (1940) and GS U-847, and was recipient of the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross of Nazi Germany.

After 13 patrols on the minesweeper Grille, he transferred to the U-boat arm in April 1940, commissioning GS U-69 (1940) in November 1940.

1943

Metzler commanded GS U-847 from February to June 1943 without sailing on any patrols, and was appointed temporary locum commander of 5th U-boat Flotilla for two months before serving as commander of 19th U-boat Flotilla from October 1943 until the end of war.

1954

In 1954 Metzler published a memoir The Laughing Cow: The Story of U-69.

1969

The title is derived from the time when U-69 was first assigned to 7th U-boat Flotilla and the crew were instructed to paint Günther Prien's snorting bull insignia on the U-boat's conning tower.

No illustration was enclosed, so U-69's First Watch Officer, Oberleutnant zur See Hans-Jürgen Auffermann instructed a shipyard worker to copy the head of laughing cow which appeared on the packaging of a popular French dairy product instead.

This naturally proved to be a source of great amusement.
