To 30 June shows that the German Navy Museum special exhibition "Das
Boot - The Photographs" with pictures of Lothar-Günther Buchheim.
Wilhelmshaven - "So - caught fresh from the water - see the six
children to the mercy of pathetic: kitsch pale, stubbly, barefoot, the
wet stuff on their skinny bodies." What Lothar-Guenther Buchheim, as a
young war correspondent on "U 96" monitors and was later described in
a book does, of the "Fascination submarine warfare" left absolutely
nothing.
A mine has caught the submarine, an air attack of the steel tube,
where the rest wounded. "U 96" has gotten such a miracle and does
nothing to the surviving shipwrecked comrades. Impressively Buchheim
has held the rescued Ubootfahrer on deck with his camera.
This black and white photos fail as the other shots of the new
exhibition "Das Boot - The Photographs" at the German Maritime Museum
(DMM), their effect on the viewer: you get under your skin, can
participate in one on the fate of men and often also shudder. Here,
the issue waived flashy effects, original exhibits, or the usual
models.
Buchheim's photographs, which were created during the seventh war
patrol of "U 96" in 1941, as well as quotes from his books appear all
to yourself. The narrowness of the submarines of the type VII C, the
vastness of the sea and sky, but especially the faces of the men
around the "old", Lieutenant-Commander Heinrich Lehmann-Willenbrock.
Most visitors are already in 1973 published book home book "Das Boot"
or have the eponymous film (1981) by Wolfgang Petersen in memory.
Liked the book died in 2007, the home of more action-packed movie
version did not tell Dr. Clelia Segieth, curator of the Buchheim
Museum. He had been missing, especially the many "Gammel" scenes in
the book - hours and days of waiting on board, time in which nothing
happened, and with the men but all kinds hired.
