Hi, friends,
I heard, many years ago, from an old rk-winner, who knew LGB from his time as an PK-Man, that the figure of Thomsen was in real life Thurmann of U 553. he got lost in 1943, like in the novel, where Thomsen alos disapears.
KL Rolf Thomsen was flying with the Luftwaffe till mid 1943 and than transferred to the ubaots.
Best regards
