'Das Boot' author passed away

I'm sure that there are many members who have seen or heard of the 1981 submarine movie 'Das Boot'.
The March 12 issue of 'Time' reports that Lothar-Guenther Buchheim, the author of the book, has died in Berlin aged 89.
As a reporter for the German Navy during WWII he wrote pieces of wartime propaganda. Then in 1973, he turned his experiences into the anti-war book, Das Boot which became a global best seller.
I haven't read the book but I have this authentically produced movie amongst my collection.
RIP

Sorry to be a pain in the butt, but this has already been discussed. A few pages back somewhere.

Nice reminder though. Too bad....
