Additionally to the short YouTube clips they are printing parts of his diary in the newspaper. The first two parts were really interesting.

Apparently he was invited to visit the film studios when Das Boot was produced and even made annotations to the script but he is still annoyed that his advise was ignored. He says the movie has nothing to do with reality.

I have to say for a 100 year old veteran he seems to be really fit.
