Dear Ladies and Gentlemen, here are some comments to Curd Jürgens. The first link deals with a short comment to “Duell im Atlantik”, the German name for Enemy below and concludes the movie is missing, according to the author, some “depth”, what ever this means. „1944 wird er gleich nach Drehschluss des Films "Wiener Mädeln" zum Militär eingezogen, weil er sich

Hello Jean Noel and Don Prince, Gentlemen you are both right; indeed it was ordered by, I believe Dönitz himself, for the Navy to salute in the fashion of the H…gruß among each other. But if my recollection serves me right their was quite a resistance to observe this order within navy – circles, as Erich Topp told me a couple years ago. Checking Dönitz’s Memoirs TEN YEARS AND TWENT

Here a short history of „@#$%&“ the so called Hitlergruß: Der Hitlergruß war seit etwa 1925 die übliche Grußform in den nationalsozialistischen Kreisen des Deutschen Reichs.

Hello Jean Noel, well not really I think, because as long as we have some kind of connex with the boats we are in “safe water” concerning the forum rules. And the guardian of our forum rules is a very flexible man. Both authors had to deal with WWII and if they had met probably might have had a kind of Poltergeist exchange of arguments e.g. the pros and cons about the Battle of the Atl

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen, hello hwm, surely I am not the experienced contributor Jean Noell is looking for but I believe I am able to retrace why hwm even as an historian might still be p…. off at LGB. It was pretty heavy laid on LGB for him being a litigious person or as they say in German “Prozesshansel” after him having published his book DAS BOOT taking even some of the merited vet

Hello Barry, well, these Black Ones yesterday in memory of this great Irish Gentleman will be always kind of an Enigma to us Continantels why they are so tasty and to be recovered the next morning rather easely.
