I am the CO of a German U-boat, and I am not your friend, Mr. Greenwood.
Remember Kretschmer, Schepke and Priehn? The three of them bet on who could sink the most tonnage on their next tour. A bit of healthy competition between the Grey Wolves – that’s what people love to read about back home, right? But where were they six weeks later? Kretschmer captured, Prien and Schepke both dead. If they hadn’t tried to be heroes they’d still be alive today.
Is there a problem, IWO? No problem, sir.
My crew probably think the only reason I got promoted is because I'm… Because you what? Because I’m his son and I’m expected to be like the legend, and not because of who I am.
I feel responsible. And rightly so. This man will be shot tomorrow because your statement condemned him. As an officer and now a captain, you must learn to live with that responsibility.
Perhaps we should face up to what we did to Hoffmann.
I've come to apologise. Maybe I was wrong. Maybe you shouldn't have made a statement.
