Lt. Werner

Lt. Werner was a war correspondent who served as a major character in the book and film Das Boot. In the original book, Lt. Werner served as the narrator, providing an account of his experiences serving aboard a U-Boat, while in the film, he serves the purpose of being an inexperienced young man who slowly learns how horrifying life in a submarine really is.

In the Parodies
In the U-Boat Parodies, Werner made a few appearanced in early videos, although he was never referred to by name and had only one actual speaking role. He was first introduced as a regular character in "Captain Willenbrock Tries to Improve the U-Boat Parodies", in which Werner was considered as a counterpart for Alfred Jodl when he showed a capability of objecting to the Captain's plans (having objected to his plan "to find someone to object to his plans).

However, he has since been given the job as Captain Heinrich Lehmann-Willenbrock's master of Antics, making him his "answer" to Hermann Fegelein. However, unlike Fegelein, Werner is relatively inexperienced, and is slowly learning how to commit antics. So far, he has only commited one antic, which was suggested by Captain Willenbrock. It involved taking pictures of the submarine, and sending them in a folder marked "very important news" to Adolf Hitler and possibly Joseph Stalin.

Similarities

 * Werner and Fegelein are both interested in committing antics.
 * Both have commited antics which have angered Hitler.

Differences

 * Unlike the other antic masters, Mikhail Tukhachevsky and Fegelein, Werner was never charged with treason, let alone executed, making him the only master of antics to have actually survived the events of his respective film.
 * Fegelein commits antics on a daily basis, while Werner so far has only committed one.
 * Fegelein is a professional antic master with a long record of irritating Hitler, while Werner is inexperienced and slowly learning.
