Korvettenkapitän Werner Hartenstein

Dies ist die Geschichte vom Korvettenkapitän Werner Hartenstein. Am 27. Februar 1908 in Plauen geboren, trat er 1928 in die Reichsmarine ein. Nach verschiedenen Dienststellungen bei der Torpedoboot-Waffe wurde er im September 1941 Kommandant auf U 156. Am 12. September 1942 griff Werner Hartenstein vor Westafrika den britischen Frachtpassagierdampfer "Laconia" an, auf dem sich 1.800 italienische Kriegsgefangene befanden. Danach lief die dramatischste Rettungsaktion des Krieges an, bei der Dönitz weitere U-Boote zur Rettung der Schiffbrüchigen hinzuzog. Trotz Rot-Kreuz-Flaggen an Deck von US-Kampfflugzeugen bombardiert, wurde Hartensteins Boot schwer beschädigt, woraufhin die Rettungsaktion abgebrochen werden musste. Am 8. März 1943 wurde U 156 auf der 5. Feindfahrt nach einem Gesamtversenkungserfolg von insgesamt 20 Handelsschiffen mit 97.206 BRT und vier torpedierten Schiffen, darunter der US-Zerstörer "Blakely", östlich von Barbados durch Fliegerbomben versenkt. Dabei fand der Ritterkreuzträger Werner Hartenstein und seine Crew den Tod.

Verlust einer Jugend

U-Booterzählungen gibt es schon viele. Wenn aber ein Überlebender, nachdem er sich ein Leben lang mit Literatur, auch Kriegsliteratur, beschäftigt hat, auf seine eigene Erfahrung in Krieg und Gefangenschaft zurückblickt, dann stellen sich manche Fragen in einem neuen Licht: Was heißt Kapitulation in einer Situation, in der es nur mehr gilt, weitere Verluste an Leben zu vermeiden? Oder, wird einmal jemand glaubhaft zu schildern imstande sein, welchen qualvollen Tod die Männer eines Bootes erlitten, das spurlos in der Tiefe verschwand, ein Totalverlust wurde, wie es nüchtern hieß. Wer überlebte, geriet in Gefangenschaft, wurde hinter Stacheldraht seiner Jugend beraubt und alterte vorzeitig. Wie bewältigte man die langen Jahre ohne persönliche Freiheit und ohne die Liebe der Frauen, wesentliche Bildungserlebnisse junger Männer? Antworten darauf versucht diese Lebensabschnittgeschichte zu geben. Darin werden auch U-Bootschicksale, gestaltet in Roman, Film und TV, vom Verfasser unter die Lupe genommen. L.-G. Buchheims U-Boot Roman Das Boot und der BBC/ARD TV Zweiteiler "Laconia" werden einer eingehenden kritischen Interpretation unterzogen. Nebenbei ergeben sich Beobachtungen des Philologen über Analogien und Unterschiede zwischen deutscher und englischer Marinesprache.

Kellynch: Dragon Persuasion: Jane Austen's Dragons, Book 6 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 850min

Keeping a hibernating dragon should have been a simple thing. Should have been, but it was not. Apparently, nothing involving dragons was ever simple, at least not for Anne Elliot, junior keeper to dragon Kellynch. With the estate in debt, Anne’s father in denial, and the dragon’s treasure missing, Kellynch’s awakening is shaping up to be nothing short of catastrophe. Not to mention, there was the pesky matter of her own broken heart and resentment against the old friend who had caused it. Captain Frederick Wentworth had spent his life making something of himself in the navy. With the war that kept him employed at an end and a small fortune in prize money, he found himself beached and at loose ends. What was he to do with himself now - take a wife like Laconia, his dragon friend, insisted? Not when none compared to the woman who had broken his heart.Working as an agent of the Blue Order, managing dragon matters across England, seemed a much better alternative. At least until investigating one such matter sent him directly in the path of Anne Elliot, the woman who had ruined him for all others.Now a royal dragon rages, a sleeping dragon lurks, and too many treasures have gone missing. Can Anne and Wentworth lay aside resentment, pride, and heartbreak to prevent Kellynch’s awakening from ending in bloodshed - or worse?Jane Austen meets Pern in a fantastical regency romp bound to delight fans of Jane Austen and Anne McCaffrey alike.
