>no Lothar Günther Buchheim
>author of Das Boot
He studied arts in Munich and was a watercolour painter and photographer for most of his life.
He'd been an embedded journalist in submarines and other forces in WWII.
Also great reads are The Fortress (desecrated by the 2018 Das Boot scam series) and The Parting.
All the three books mentioned feature Kplt. Lehmann-Willenbrock by the way, who inspired "der Alte" in Das Boot. All of them great reads.
