<HTML>Hans Goebeler watched KptLt Zschech climb down from the conning tower and into the passageway in front of the skipper\'s cabin. That\'s where Zschech shot himself. They carried his body to his bunk, where he expired (with some assistance from his crew). After the depthcharging stopped, his body was dragged to the control room (a tampon fell out of his wound, leaving a trail of blood), where his body was wrapped in a canvas hammock for burial.</HTML>
