In the novel Das Boot, Buchheim talks about a captain who shot up the life boats before they were lowered. Anybody know the historical validity of that story? |
I think it is the U 515 under Werner Henke
Henke was shot trying to escape from a POW camp.
I will try to find it
Dutchie-one
Sorry wrong name it is Heinz-Wilhelm Eck of U 852 together with 2 of his officers
