The guy on the left looks almost like Paulssen (check the images in the book) mentioned in Iron Coffins,maybe it IS him? I think Paulssen was the current captain when Werner was assigned to his first UBoat

Maybe.. but the guy in the first picture is a NCO (Maat or Petty Officer)...

My guess is, that he is a PK (War Correspondent).
Paulssens promotion list does not show that he was ever an NCO during the war.
