The Schepke Biography from Flechsig is worth nothing. Why?
Because there is no personal background information, despite the facts that are known:
- his father being and navy officer
- joining the navy in 1930
- born in flensburg (but not mentioning, that he was only born there, but was raised up his complete your in a different town)
Thats all about personal facts. And these facts are taken from internet and other books.
Also the author makes up new facts from his mind. Schepke never received his Knights cross in Paris. And least not to mention the quotations that are written in this book. Funny. Seems the author was on the conning tower when the convoy attack broke out.
By the way the author published about 10 "biographies" in one year. Seems to be a very skillful researcher, as other authors need about 10 years to publish one book. For me the book is a total piss take.
