Older and Wiser: He's the oldest man on board the U-96, and while he's only about 40 and one decade older than most of his men if not more, he is the most experienced, having gone through more U-Boot patrols than them all.No Name Given: He's never called by his name in the film.He also helps his friend Thomsen, who has gone semi-comatose in the toilets after his speech. At the party in La Rochelle before U-96 takes the sea, he doesn't drink more than one beer, while most of his crew gets drunk with wine and Champagne aplenty. He tells Werner that, if he has a problem with that, he should bring it up with their bosses in Berlin, who started the war in the first place. Just Following Orders: He's not happy about it, but he's out in the Atlantic to sink British ships because that's what his orders are.Historical Domain Character: Based on the real life U-96 commander, Heinrich Lehmann-Willenbrock.A Father to His Men: He's at least only a decade older than most of the crew (and he even lampshades it), but still cares for them.He is addressed as "Herr Kaleun" (short for Kapitänleutnant) or "Der Alte" (the Old Man). The Captain: Commanding officer of the U-96 submarine.Der Alte: They are in the casino, celebrating our sinking.
