    I always wondered what happened to him, and the reprisals to his family that he left behind.

    Tigers were captured, abandoned, and surrendered, so that picture is not at all impossible.

    Note how the compartment tapers, and the portholes on both sides. This suggests to me that it is at the stern, a traditional location for captain's or flag quarters dating back to sailing ship days.

    The stern is the smoother ride, so being hogged by officers is SOP. In the days of sail the captain sometimes had a balcony attached to their cabin in the stern. Another reason for officers slept in the stern was that the head was literally by the figurehead on the bow. Rails were set up so men could take a dump and the waves would wash the bow clean, IF the weather was right.

    He settled in West Germany, married and had a child, went to work for a winery & later Audi. He reunited with his family when the Wall came down, however, while some welcomed him with open arms, others treated him as a traitor. Never quite able to cope with poor treatment by some of his family, he committed suicide in June, 1998.
