Final lecture in the series. Returning to Bremen, family history, and U-Boots, this time with a view of those who worked for the Nazi regime. CORRECTIONS Wolfgang Petersen did not make "Independence Day." My apologies. He did, however, make "The Never-Ending Story." ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Since giving this lecture, I have learned a few more details about the post-War career of Reinhard Hardegen: The shipbroker who took offense at learning that Hempel Marine Paints employed Hardegen, who had sunk one of their vessels, was in fact Norwegian, not Danish. This discovery and subsequent complaint in the early 1970s nearly cost Hardegen his job, and was the incident that led to the public "rediscovery" of his role in the war. Between 1945 and ca. 1970, Hardegen was mum about his war record, although in German maritime circles, it was not only well known, but was considered a major asset by his employer. Hardegen's reputation and name recognition gave him access to those who worked for major German shipping lines, and who were in charge of making decisions on which paint to buy. Hempel just didn't advertise his role to anyone outside of Germany, much. In the mid-1970s, Hardegen was let go by Hempel, because he had been devoting more and more of his attention to his role as a sales agent for ship diesel fuel. Apparently, the latter was more lucrative. He worked on a commission basis for both Hempel and the fuel company.
