Hoffmann Photo Postcard (Nr. R10) of Knight’s Cross Holder Heinrich Lehmann-Willenbrock, who earned the Ritterkreuz mit Eichenlaub on December 31, 1941 as Kommandeur of U-boot 96. Lehmann-Willenbrock survived the war and passed away on April 18, 1986. He ranks sixth of the most successful U-boat commanders in the Battle of the Atlantic against the Allies. He commanded four U-boats, including U-96, a Type VIIC U-boat, which gained widespread recognition when one of its patrols was documented and publicized by an accompanying member of a propaganda company Lothar-Günther Buchheim. The story of the U-96 was eventually made into a mini-series and film called Das Boot, in which the captain was portrayed by Jürgen Prochnow. (Source: Wikipedia). Good condition, minor wear. Defect on the front. Also photographer’s mark of “P.K. Matthies”. Postcardsize.
