Kriechbaum (Das Boot)

Obersteuermann Kriechbaum is the navigator and 3rd Watch Officer aboard the U-boat U-96. Always slightly skeptical of the Captain and without enthusiasm during the voyage, he shows no anger when a convoy is too far away to be attacked. Kriechbaum has four sons, with another on the way. He was wounded at Gibraltar by a British plane and was threated by Hinrich.
