Podcast on U 96 with bestselling author Gerrit Reichert<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Exclusive release of veteran audio<\/strong>s<\/h4>\n

From Friday, 20 December, selected original voices of the veterans of U 96 (\"Das Boot\") will be heard in public for the first time. Bestselling author Gerrit Reichert (\"U 96 Realit\u00e4t und Mythos\") has made them exclusively available for a new podcast series: \"Between 1981 and 1990, veterans of U 96 met a total of five times. At the instigation of the chief engineer (\"LI\") of U 96, Friedrich Grade, each of the 30 participants recorded a five-minute audio piece on an old cassette about their time on U 96, the subsequent war years and civilian life afterwards. In addition to Grade, who comes from B\u00fcdelsdorf (Schleswig-Holstein), and the commander Heinrich Lehmann-Willenbrock (\"the old man\") from Bremen, veterans from northern, southern, western and eastern Germany as well as Austria can be heard on the tape.<\/p>\n

As with his private diary from U 96, Friedrich Grade (107), the last living crew member to die in October 2023, also made the veteran audio recordings available to Reichert for his work on the \"Das Boot\" complex: \"Friedrich Grade considered himself an \"Oldenburger at heart\" because he spent his childhood and youth here. So I published the private diary from the 7th \"Feindfahrt\" U 96, the model for Lothar-G\u00fcnther Buchheim's world bestseller \"Das Boot\" (1973), for the first time in 2016 with the Nordwest-Zeitung Oldenburg (NWZ). We are collaborating again for the six-part podcast series on U 96.\"<\/p>\n

The new six-part podcast series from the <\/strong>NWZ \"The search for U 96 - the last secret\" starts on Friday, 20 December and on the five following Fridays. It will be available on all podcast platforms (Spotify, Apple Podcast, Amazon Music etc.).<\/strong><\/p>\n

Gerrit Reichert was the main author of the catalogue \"Buchheim 100\" for the exhibition of the same name at the Buchheim Museum Bernried (2018). A year later, he published \"U 96 Realit\u00e4t und Mythos\" (\"U 96 Reality and Myth\"), covering the entire history of U 96 in the war and post-war period. In 2023, exactly 50 years after the first publication of the novel, Friedrich Grade's private diary was published as a \"Limited Edition\" in the original reprint. In the new 4th edition (November 2024), Reichert reveals the last resting place of U 96, Wilhelmshaven, in the additional chapter \"Finding 'Das Boot'\".<\/p>\n

Gerrit Reichert (59) is a journalist and author. He lives in Worpswede near Bremen.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
