Interrogations of U-boat crewmen would almost certainly have been conducted using technical specialists controlled or directed by the Office of Naval Intelligence (ONI), or in some cases possibly from the Naval Security Group (for cryptologic matters).
The records of ONI at the National Archives at College Park, MD, are a likely source of information. We suggest Record Group 38.4 Records of the Office of Naval Intelligence http://www.archives.gov/research/guide-fed-records/groups/038.html#38.4.
Hopefully the National Archives has the original interrogation reports which might identify the interrogators.
If you do identify some of the interrogators, you may not get much more than their names and maybe their service numbers. The US Naval Academy Alumni Association keeps track of its graduates and might provide you with current contact information for those interrogators that were academy graduates and are still living. Check a Register of Alumni for the US Naval Academy or contact the Nimitz Library http://www.usna.edu/Library/ to identify which officers were USNA graduates.
You may want to consider posting notices about your search with some of the reunion and veteran organizations and magazines. We have more information on these posted at http://www.history.navy.mil/faqs/faq13-3.htm
The Naval Intelligence Professionals http://www.navintpro.org/ is a veterans group which also might be able to help identify veterans for this reunion.
