Walter Lewandowski: German combat swimmer and recipient of the German Cross in Gold
written by Adrian Matthes
In his old age, a man from Lower Silesia remembers the time when he was deployed on the southern and eastern fronts in a special commando unit of the Navy after completing a flight training with the Luftwaffe. In the darkness, he swam sabotage missions against ships and bridges in the Mediterranean and the Oder. Walter Lewandowski experienced what was probably one of the most extraordinary training courses in the German armed forces, he received several awards and gives a detailed account of his career in „Lehrkommando 700“ and „Einsatzgruppe Keller“. As a Silesian, he also talks about his old homeland and the search for his family after the war
