thread_title:  Is the date of the Iron Cross 2nd Class correct 

message: I noticed two issues with the section on his death:
1. The number of crew comes to 44, but the U-100 page states it was 56. Which is correct?
2. It seems unlikely there's a reliable witness for the unusual way he died, and the book cited as a source isn't in the bibliography. Is there a good source? CohenTheBohemian (talk) 02:56, 27 October 2021 (UTC)
