In the book Iron Coffins by Herbert Werner, he was quite apprehensive about Germany's surrender rather than jubilant. He was worried about the treatment he would receive by the Allied forces, which turned out in his case not to be too good. During his captivity he was coerced into joining the French Foreign Legion but escaped from a POW camp before being sent away. Prior to capture, he planned to take his U-boat and crew to Argentina but his plans were scuppered.
