Added biography text to WWI U-boat commander Martin Niemöller
Added a biography information to one of the more famous and controversial U-boat commanders of WWI Martin Niemöller. He is much more famous for his work and life after the war though. After his WWI career he became, as a Protestant pastor, a Nazi supporter before turning against them and ended up barely surviving 8 years in concentration camps. He wrote the famous poem "First they came ..." about Nazi persecutions.

Added a new 12 page photo section of the U-boat bunker at La Pallice / La Rochelle, France. These photos were taken by Pascal Blijkers in 2007. Updated the page on the La Pallice / La Rochelle Uboat base as well.

Heavily revised Emblems section
Rewrote the Emblems section with new material and functions. Now you can see all boats with emblems, search all our emblems, link emblems from U-boat pages and more. I also updated the Emblems of the Week item and made it more graphical. This was a missing section from our Conning Tower work. New I'll work on the Attacks on U-boats which is the final project not finished.

Review of Gallipoli: Attack from the sea
After extended hiatus I've started reviewing books again and the first in this series is the excellent Gallipoli: Attack from the Sea by Victor Ruddeno. This book was just published in June by Yale University Press and deals with the Allied naval aspects of the Gallipoli campaign.
