Quiz: Who Am I?

[PzHeinZ]

I got a book about Lüth called "Sukellusveneässä" (engl. U-boat Ace) as a christmas present from my wife. I have to say that is the first time I heard of him either. He was an outstanding soldier, the "Michael Wittmann" of the German navy so to speak. I recommend the book warmly. :)

That Damnbuster movie would be interesting too..... Yesterday there was a documentary/reality programme about that operation at the Viasat History channel, I guess it is a two or three episode series actually. There was interesting background information about the calcualtions and preparations of how to get that damn dam busting bomb to fall at the right place etc. The reality part was that they started to train present RAF pilots for this mission using a dummy Lancaster made from wood in a hangar. The Lancaster was actually a simulator with a large screen in front of it, the crew is to "fly" all the way from England to Möhne dam in Germany. Interesting to see if they make it flying in 100 feet and getting a lot of FlaK on them.

The good news about that movie is that there are two flying Lancasters left. Let´s hope the Hollywood people can use one of them!
