1WO Das Boot

Good morning everyone,

Am I the only one who actually LIKES this guy? He was obviously cast as the obligitary 'good nazi', however, as the story develops he is revealed as a highly efficient, brave and completely reliable officer. One only has to watch him in action during the attack on the convoy to see what he's made of. Okay, at first sight he's a bit of a stuffed shirt, cannon fodder for the merciless ribbing of the 2WO but I think he is basically a shy individual from a faraway country, trying to do his duty with the added problem of having to prove himself to a battle hardened crew who would think the worst of him until proven otherwise. I think the guy who played him did a smashing job (can't remember his name just now) In particular his embarassment at being confused with the 'Old Man' in Vigo.

I have no recollection him being named. Is he based on an actual U96 officer ?

Do Chara
