Who is Franz Machon?
Matrosengefreiter Franz Machon was the only survivor of the sunken German submarine U-512, and one of few World War II U-Boat survivors. His story strikes remarkable similarities with Klaus Bargsten of U-521. After his capture, Franz agreed to help the United States Navy observe behaviour characteristics of fellow German P.O.W.s.
