It is requested that a picture or pictures of this person be included in this article to improve its quality. Note: Wikipedia's non-free content use policy almost never permits the use of non-free images (such as promotional photos, press photos, screenshots, book covers and similar) to merely show what a living person looks like. Efforts should be made to take a free licensed photo during a public appearance, or obtaining a free content release of an existing photo instead.

Does anyone know how he came to speak the German he spoke in U-571? As far as I could tell, his German was authentically spoken. Does he know German or did he simply rehearse and recite those particular lines (in German of course)?
