Erich Topp interveiw

[Hitman]

Hey rik, good to know I'm not the only old one here

the commander who helped them with SH3 was Jürgen Östen: http://www.uboat.net/men/oesten.htm I have all the video interviews with him that were made for the game in my HDD, and IIRC they are still available for download in the SH3 official web (Pity they only asked him general things they could have gotten elsewhere, instead of the technical details that will now be lost after such men die )

Aces of the deep had some great interviews, hours it seems. Now who feels old?

Yes, Östen! Indeed it is very pity that they asked those questions. They should have prepared themselves much better. But after all it was a kind of 'first attempt' and first research (after SH 1, AOD) after a long time from the moment the latest subsim was created. An experiment. I think they should have been able to get better info from Jurgen or Erich then.

Of course we all fantasize what it would have been like if for example Topp would play a mission in SH-5. Should he then become enthousiastic as he was more than 60 years ago? Unfortunately he passed away 91 years old and that I call real old.
