<HTML>Hi George,
I don\'t know where you found this story, but it is completly wrong.
Otto Kretschmer was on a river cruise on the Danube going from Regensburg to Budapest.
On Sunday August 2, 1998 at 14h30 going down a steep stairs on this boat, he slipped and hurt heavily his head.
He was brought in the hospital St Elisabeth, where he died on August 5, at 3 o\'clock.</HTML>
