WWII German U-boat Under Attack By U.S. Navy Liberator
Sharkhunters Member Erich Topp was the
third most successful submarine Skipper of any navy in Wrld War Two and
was one of only five U-Bootfahrer to be decorated with the Knights Cross
with Oak Leaf and Crossed Swords.
Silent Otto
- Carter has provided us with some clips from our DVD-56, the interview
we did with the great Otto Kretschmer in 1994. This DVD runs two full
hours and Kretschmer tells his techniques for attack and has some funny
stories about he and Prien firing at an abandoned ship in the North
Atlantic - much, much more. Contrary to the image one might get from
his photos, Otto had a quick sense of humor and was quick to laugh. He
was the top submarine Skipper of World War Two and he was one of the
finest men I have ever met. Look at these clips - you will enjoy them.

Topp sank USS REUBEN JAMES more than a month before the US was
officially in the war and he talks about that incident. He compares the
tactics of World War Two submarine combat with today's boats. What did
he think of Grossadmiral Doenitz? Of his fellow commanders? How did he
see that the Treaty of Versailles affected the outbreak of World War
Two? All that and more is on this DVD. Click on these links to see clips
