The Golden U-Boat

“When one considers that right up to the end of the war there was virtually no increase in heavy-water stocks in Germany … it will be seen that it was the elimination of German heavy-water production in Norway that was the main factor in our failure to achieve an atomic bomb before the war ended.”

— German scientist Dr. Kurt Diebner

“The political stability of the Bonn government is slowly being undermined by millions of old fighters… who are deeply committed to a Nazi comeback. They dream of a military establishment with super modern weapons … in order to regain for Germany the status of a great world power.”

— T.H. Tetens

“We must hand down the brave, self-sacrificing U-boat spirit to our children and grandchildren.”

— Admiral Karl Donitz
