The author of Das Boot, Lothar-Gunther Buchheim, has died at the age of 89. Sad news.

Hello!

Yes, very sad news! Goodbye Kamerad!

As we all know, our beloved Vets of the U-Boot Service are leaving us . We must work with all speed to document their stories. When they are gone, we will only have 2nd hand info to go on. And much has already been lost.

Regards,

Sorry to hear this. Did he write any other books on U-boats?
