R.I.P. Korvettenkapitän Oesten

I didn't see any mention of this on the forums, and I just came across the news today. According to his family, Korvettenkapitän Jürgen Oesten passed away peacefully on August 5th of this year.

For those unaware, he was a Knight's Cross winner, the 29th most successful U-boat commander in terms of tonnage sunk, and the technical advisor for SH3.

RIP

Sad how many veterans have died already. Only the youngest during the war have survived till our days. I'm afraid all of them will be gone in a few years but that's just the way it is. We have to live on but that doesn't mean we don't need to remember them!
