Title: TV documentation with Lothar G. Buchheim - author of "The Boat"
Post by: falo on 03 Nov , 2014, 11:15

Hi Gents,

a few years after the theatrical run of "The boat", german television broadcast a longer tv version (three parts) in the mid eighties, accompanied by a documentation with Lothar G. Buchheim as narrator.


Last night I found this very rare docu on youtube, split in two parts (german only):


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0EEHh9_47s0 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0EEHh9_47s0)


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PJgpsU8S6bw (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PJgpsU8S6bw)




IMO a very important docu about german U Boat warfare during the WW2 because Buchheim served as war reporter for the Propagandaministerium and became later a critic of Doenitz and his conduct of war. So Buchheim rebels with his thinkings against the views of the most U boat veterans.


The docu is in german only but there is a lot of footage to be seen.




Best regards
Falo
