Following the success of \"Das Boot\" as a book (1973) and film (1981), its final chapter has now been revealed. The boat on which Lothar-G\u00fcnther Buchheim collected his material for \"Das Boot\" as a war correspondent in the autumn of 1941 still exists, in Wilhelmshaven! Here, on the North Sea, U 96 was bombed shortly before the end of the war and a few years later, in 1948, its remains were used as filling material in the newly built Grodendamm. The journalist duo Gerrit Reichert and Dr Frank Ganseuer have now traced this trail with a wealth of facts. Starting with a Royal Air Force aerial photograph of the broken U 96 in mid-April 1945 and ending with the photographed sinking of the stern section three years later in Grodendamm. The exciting research is the exclusive 8th additional chapter in the bestseller \"U 96 Reality and Myth\", now in its fourth edition. Its author, Gerrit Reichert, thus concludes ten years of work on the U 96 complex: \"In the beginning, I just wanted to know who the person behind Buchheim's main character of the \"Old Man\" actually was; in the end, after 80 years, I even managed to track down his boat, and that's the end of it.\"<\/p>\n<p class=\"price\"><span class=\"woocommerce-Price-amount amount\"><bdi>29,95\u00a0<span class=\"woocommerce-Price-currencySymbol\">\u20ac<\/span><\/bdi><\/span> <small class=\"woocommerce-price-suffix\">incl.
