The red head was the 2 WO, the third WO was the navigator, Kriechbaum. In the german navy this position was a warrant officer one.

IIrc, when they are at the night club, club... bar.. the 1wo, did indeed report the boat's readiness status... I believe. I know that was also repeated, iirc again, when the Kaleun, along with Werner, the journalist, were just about to board U-96...
