Johann (Das Boot)

Obermaschinist Johann is the Chief mechanic on board the U-96. He is often called "The Ghost" by other members of the crew. He is obsessed with a near fetish love for the U-96's engines. Johann suffers a temporary mental breakdown during an attack by two destroyers, and the Captain attempts to execute him for making noise, but before this he is subdued. He is able to redeem himself by valiantly working to stop water leaks when the boat is trapped underwater n
