Lothar-Günther Buchheim (February 6, 1918 - February 22, 2007) was a German author and painter. He is best known for his novel Das Boot (1973), which became an international bestseller a…nd was adapted in 1981 as an Oscar-nominated film. Buchheim was a Sonderführer in a propaganda unit of the Kriegsmarine in the Second World War, writing as a war correspondent about his experiences on minesweepers, destroyers and submarines. He also made drawings and took photographs. As a Leutnant zur See in the autumn of 1941, Buchheim joined Kapitänleutnant Heinrich Lehmann-Willenbrock and the crew of U-96 on her seventh patrol in the Battle of the Atlantic. His orders were to photograph and describe the U-boat in action. From his experiences, he wrote a short story, "Die Eichenlaubfahrt". Buchheim ended the war as an Oberleutnant zur See. His novel Das Boot was followed by a non-fiction work, U-Boot-Krieg (U-Boat War) in 1976, which became the first part of a trilogy, together with U-Boot-Fahrer (U-Boat Sailors, 1985), and Zu Tode Gesiegt (Victory in the Face of Death, 1988). The trilogy includes over 5,000 photographs taken during World War II. He is also the author of the novels Die Festung (The Fortress, 1995), based on travels home across France in 1944, and Der Abschied (The Parting, 2000), about the nuclear-powered cargo vessel NS Otto Hahn. Here is a remarkable word-and-picture chronicle of submarine warfare in the north Atlantic during World War II. No comparable record of the war at sea exists anywhere. Buchheim's pictures are unique. Described as The Greatest word and picture record of submarine warfare in WWII. A magnificent tribute to all who fought under the sea by the man who wrote the best novel about submarine warfare!
