Volkmar König Interview - 2000
Tape H-80

We went back to Germany in 2000 and shot more interviews with veterans of the U-boat wars.  Volkmar König was midshipman on U-99 under the great Kretschmer.

Why was U-99 in that location?

Why did the boat dive against the specific orders of the Skipper?

How was U-99 spotted by the Royal Navy?

What was it like in the P.o.W. Camp - and how did he come to be shot in the back?

He tells of the final patrol of U-99 and of the conditions in the P.o.W. camp.

There are things in this tape that are not on any other videotape.
