<HTML>Hi Stefan,
Thanks for explaining about "Wo Barthel den Most holt." That's one of those bits of folklore which a stranger could never figure out alone.
The character of Thomsen is a composite of several real-life commanders, but he's also become one of those memorable movie cameos just because he's such a comic-awful mixture of honesty and pure mess. Who can doubt for a moment that the next thing "Werner" does after Thomsen is half-dragged out of the toilet, is to throw up everything he's eaten for the past week?!
And yet when we see Thomsen next, he's cold sober and his face is wonderfully expressive of all the powerful emotions surrounding a U-Boot's running out to sea.
Hope 2004 is getting off to a better start in Hessen than here: people in several Northern California towns are being asked to get out of their homes and go to higher ground!
Best regards,
