As a former submariner who lives in Jacksonville today, I have a lot of respect for this guy. Glad he had a long, successful life after the war. Many WW2 submariners on both sides did not.
Screw him. He was part of a nation that sought to dominate the world. Have a thought to all those he sent to the bottom.
War has many bad aspects. One of them is the spectacle of good, honest, honorable men killing each other ... often on behalf of the most vile members of society.
Toward the end of the war, U-Boat crews had an almost 100% mortality rate.
They were brave beyond my comprehension.
AS another former submariner who lives in Jacksonville today, I have near ZERO respect for this guy.
He apparently embraced the NAZI regime and killed innocent people. May he rot in He$$.
I was a submariner on SSBN 599.
It was a luxury liner compared to what these brave men did.
I have nothing but respect for these incredible brave men, most of whom died in their boats.
I’m glad I’m not still on a boat and glad I didn’t have to face these people during the war.
