Kapitanleutnant Heinicke

The U-boat seems to loom out of the blackness, careening to starboard, as if to avoid a collision. As it glides by in the image, its deck gun is unmanned, its conning tower empty, the wooden deck plates are rotted away. It is German submarine U-576, Kapitanleutnant Hans-Dieter Heinicke, in command.
