Talk:German submarine U-505/@comment-28836587-20160624161637

I've spoken with a couple of tour guides at the U-505 and they confirm that Zschech attempted to commit suicide in the conning tower above the control room, but the round he fired into his brain did not kill him. Meyer, as acting captain, ordered Zschech to be killed because he was making too much noise during the depth charge attack on the submarine. I'm unclear as to who actually killed him though.
