Untitled[edit]

Why does Das Boot link to the movie page and not one about the excellent book the movie is based upon? Shouldn't there be some independent description of the book somewhere?

Assessment comment[edit]

The comment(s) below were originally left at Talk:Lothar-Günther Buchheim/Comments, and are posted here for posterity. Following several discussions in past years, these subpages are now deprecated. The comments may be irrelevant or outdated; if so, please feel free to remove this section.

Article is a bit small. Also, Buchheim went on patrol with U96 twice, and once with another boat (I cannot recall which one). Someone should look that up and add it to the article.

I changed the class from stub to start because it lists four sources and has several sections. momoricks (make my day) 04:01, 24 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

What were the circumstances of him wearing an eye patch?[edit]

I will assume that he wore an eye patch because he lost use of his left eye. How and when did that happen? The information must be "out there" somewhere. 72.130.204.150 (talk) 23:14, 23 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

>>>

A complication during an eye surgery in later years caused him to wear the eye patch.

Nazi propagandist[edit]

He is described in the first line as a "Nazi propagandist", but I can't read that in the rest of the article. Is it for his work in the Kriegsmarine propaganda unit? Was it specifically Nazi or just military propaganda? Was a Nazi apologist after the war? That is not what I understand from the descriptions of Das Boot.
