Is the date of the Iron Cross 2nd Class correct

Is the date of the Iron Cross 2nd Class correct? All other U-boat commanders get it not bevor September 1939. --GT1976 (talk) 19:17, 19 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Death

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?
