Corrected.

Dr. Herrbergs's story is well described in "Der Sanitätsdienst in der deutschen Flotte, Leichte Seestreitkräfte" page 171-173.

The sinking of S 199 is in one of the better SOS Magazines. SOS 188, Das Geheimnis um "S-Achim". The same story is also in Der Landser Nr.55 Schnellboote vor! I guess it was written in the 50ies based only on vittness storys.
