Are you just plain ignorant, as you've ignored everything I just said to you. As I just explained to you, if he's an ex-nazi, and was an operative in a top secret project, then it is quite possible, that there would be no record of him.
There would be a record of him as a Nazi Uboat captain as he was supposedly doing this BEFORE he was involved in anything top secret. ALL captains of Nazi Uboats are well documented, it's not that difficult to find the data.
I can understand that you WANT to believe in all this rubbish, just like I WANT to believe that Cameron Diaz fancies me. The trouble is once you start to scratch below the surface of the majority of these things it doesn't take you very long to find descrepencies in the data. The first "fact" that I checked up on turned up a lie, his father did not exist.

Well, put your money where your mouth is, and produce me an entire list of every nazi u-boat captain from BEFORE the war.

I am finding your arguments quite bizarre, it does seem that you are intent on defeating yourself in this debate without any outside interference. Why are we talking about U-boat captains "before" the war when Schneider's father was allegedly a captain DURING the war.

I think this whole topic is rubbish. To think that spending to the extent of 25% of the US GNP could be hidden in a group of top secret projects is laughable, if you understand anything about the economy.
Captured military personnel are interned in camps, not given jobs on your own team, no matter how talented they may be.

Did he exist before the war? If he existed during the war, then i am guessing he would have existed before it. In which case, you should find a record of U boat captains before the war, or people who later went onto captain U boats. You claim this information would be easy to obtain, so now I am asking you to substantiate it for me. Is it still bizarre?
Are you having a laugh here? The fact is he was claimed to be a U-Boat captain during WW2. However he is almost certainly proven to have NOT been a u-boat captain during WW2 as he doesn't appear in the list of u-boat captains as appears here
This is the point I am debating about. not whether he was a u-boat captain BEFORE the war, subsequent to the war or indeed to this very day.
I have just finished reading through this apparent "lecture" by this certain Phil Schneider (who I have yet to see any evidence to his actual existence,) and when you have managed to come up with a genuine reason as to why the guy who had an underground battle with aliens seems to have a father who has mysteriously disappeared off a widely recognised and acclaimed list of U-boat captains, then we can move on to the next stupid claim that he made.

The reason I asked you for BEFORE the war, because I knew you already had a link to this web site listing the commanders. What I was showing you, that you are reliant on a single source, for a more than 60 year old event, and from another country. Simply, because this person's name is not on the list, does not mean he does not exist.

Indigo, I thought the US didn't have a draft? But never mind that, I suppose the US army might welcome petty crooks into its ranks at a time when they are short-handed. Not for me to question your country's recruiting practices... but at least they're your petty crooks, and not someone else's.
How do I "know" a captured officer wouldn't just be offered an exchange uniforms? Are there any records of Allied captured officers switching to the German or Japanese side? Any records of the reverse? Sorry, I don't have time to do the research, but can you imagine this happening? It just doesn't make any sense. Above all, your own team must be known to be loyal, and you couldn't assure that with a capture. And there's no need to take the risk.
Not clear what your point was on the economics. Read the Wall Street Journal for a few days, think of all the economic activity you're reading about, and then consider diverting 25% of it to some secret activity. It's just not a credible idea.

Thats a good logical guess but you have to understand that once germany was invaded, all their records were at the disposal to U.S. Officials. So if they wanted to cover something up then by all means its a done deal!!!! Regardless of the complete list you posted, I'm sure if they deleted one entry, it wouldnt hurt. In that case, you wouldnt find his name in that directory.
Let's imagine that some time after the the war the US decided to hide the fact that a certain "Otto Oscar Schneider" was indeed a German that after the war decided to help them out with certain projects.
secondly if you are to delete this alleged U-boat captain from the list of German U-boat captains then you would also have to delete his U-boat, else be left with a U-boat without a captain. So are you suggesting that there was some phantom U-boat (and crew,) that have been deleted from naval history without some war buff asknig the question "hey, whatever happened to U-202" or whatever.
This gets even funnier. We have merely scratched the surface of a totally ludicrous document and already we have people jumping to its defence, when in the first place there was zero evidence to prove its truth anyway!

I just noticed that Daydream69er has NEGATIVE 250 ATS pts and is denying ignorance. Good start...
