U-96 - Realität und Mythos: Der Alte und Lothar-Günther Buchheim - Gebundene Ausgabe
The boat «is the most successful submarine material of the post-war period. Lothar-Günther Buchheim, a member of a naval propaganda company, told him. He and the "old man", Heinrich Lehmann-Willenbrock, commander of U 96, met in 1941 on the legendary sawfish submarine. They became friends, but the friendship suddenly broke shortly before Lehmann-Willenbrock's death. Why? The answer lies in war and what really happened on board U 96. Bremen journalist Gerrit Reichert thoroughly illuminates this reality. In addition, as the main author of the publication and exhibition »Buchheim 100«, he viewed Lothar-Günther Buchheim's private estate. For the first time and exclusively, it is cited from the private diaries of Friedrich Grades, the leading engineer at U 96. In addition, extensive, previously unpublished photo material by Lothar-Günther Buchheim can be seen. As a result, the story around U 96 is identified as a propaganda myth, the threads of which extend to the present day. It tells the long overdue biography of the »old«, who became one of the most important German captains of the 20th century. It reveals the true role of Buchheim with a sensational reassessment of its work for Nazi propaganda. It describes the connection between reality and myth, which made U 96 a century-old subject. Finally, it makes it understandable how the different view of what really happened in the war ultimately destroyed the 44-year friendship of the »old« and Lothar-Günther Buchheim. Finally, it tells the long overdue biography of Heinrich Lehmann-Willenbrock, who became one of the most important German captains of the 20th century.
