Default Uboat Captain: Otto Oscar Schneiders Son

This is "out there" reading material. I stumbled across this site as i wanted something to read and boy did i find it :-)

Phil Schneider's lecture of 1995

http://www.theforbiddenknowledge.com..._schneider.htm

His father was Otto Oscar Schneider, fought on both sides of the war. He was originally a U-boat captain, and was captured and repatriated in the United States.

Read it all there folks. Science fiction :hmm:

From uboat.net myth and stories section.
Quote:
Kptlt. Otto Oscar Schneider on US secret projects
There is a story floating around that this said U-boat commander worked on some highly classified US National Secrets after the war. I believe he is reported to have been a commander of a VIIC or IXC U-boat in the Atlantic during the war.
The simple answer to this one is that there was no U-boat commander in WWII with that name. Only 2 commanders with that last name in the war; Herbert Schneider died while in command of U-522 and Manfred Schneider only commander the small XXIII boat U-4706 for the last 3 months of the war, never on patrol. This story is just that, a story.

Yes. Uboat.net website under myths explain that this character Otto is just a story - myth.
