All you need is good men

Hi All,

Sorry if this has been asked before, but I just came across what I thought might simply be coincidence, and wandered if some WWII/U-boat buffs could enlighten me.

On the main screen of SH3 GWX3 there is what I presume to be a quotation at the bottom of the screen "All you need is good men...Heinrich Lehmann-Willenbrock"

Having just re-read Das Boot (again!), on page 501, just after the Chief reports that the boat is ready to attempt to surface after having to carry out repairs at 900 feet after being bombed, the 'Old Man' states "Good men-simply have to have-good men"

Being similar quotes, I wondered whether that was coincidence, or is the quote on the game screen the film (which I haven't yet seen) version of the quote from the book?

Thanks,
Dud
