yes he seems dominative, but as a captain you need to command a certain respect, but on the side (even though being a Nazi) he understood that if he cared about his men, they would care too, (like the part where he talked about treating his seamen like they werent pure trash and actually mattered) this makes sense because in essense, theyre part of a functioning unit, and without them, his U-boat is just a worthless piece of submergeable boat in the Atlantic.

While I don't agree with his political views I do agree with most of the rules on his boat and the way he handled the crew, they were well intended for the benefit of the crew. If I was in command of a small diesel sub like a VIIC I would deff tear a page or two out of his leadership playbook.
