As it turns out this is a semi-procedural nomination, three years in the making. Contested redirection by My very best wishes. check K.e.coffman's rationale on the talk, "Does not meet WP:SOLDIER & sig RS coverage not found link, just passing mentions. Article copy is uncited or cited to self-published web sites which is not sufficient for notability. No de.wiki article exists. Did not hold a significant command and topped out as Kapitanleutnant. Successful completion of missions is not part of SOLDIER. Please also see a note at MilHist Talk Archives for background behind the redirect. In summary, per the outcome of the discussion at Notability:People on notability of Knight's Cross recipients: permalink, certain recipients were deemed non notable and WP:SOLDIER has been modified accordingly: diff. The articles of these recipients are being redirected to alphabetical lists." I'm not familiar with the reliability of the sourcing, but leaning towards a redirect to List of Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross recipients (W) Eddie891 ^Talk _Work 20:10, 28 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep if we keep any flying ace who shot down 5 planes, I don't see how we can't keep this guy who was responsible for sinking 21 ships. Mztourist (talk) 03:21, 29 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per above. -- Necrothesp (talk) 11:37, 29 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Significant coverage in Clay Blair's Hitler's U-Boat War [1] and mentioned in relation to sinking of Bismarck [2]. Given that there is almost certainly more substantial coverage in German sources, keep per WP:GNG. Kges1901 (talk) 12:35, 29 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep (reply to pinging me). After looking at Google books search (link at the top of the page) and specific sources it finds, one can see a significant coverage in a number of books on the history of WW II (a couple of them are noted by Kges1901 just above.
