What he said!
I consider the men of the
U-bootwaffe heroic. I have been fortunate enough to make friendships with several U-boat
Ritterkreuzträger commanders as well as ordinary seamen, torpedomen, and machinists. I have discussed their experiences with them at length and I am in awe at their bravery. They are all very kind gentlemen and they have been helpful in my research and patient with my many questions. They have and will continue to have my utmost respect.
But having said that, I am also thankful that they lost.
