This is the forum for Movie and Film discussions. Again, our topic is naval warfare in WWII for the most part.

Hi, Meg !
The name you are looking for is KL Heinz Hirsacker ( U-572 ).If you have access to "Conning Tower", you'll find a very detailed biography of this guy.If not, let me know, and I'll try to sum it up.In any case, he was really sentenced to death by military court, all pleas for clemency rejected, and the pistol was delivered to him by one of his mates on the eve of his scheduled execution.
Enjoy your day.
